Alexander Wang


Alexender Wang is one of my favorite designers. He is a Chinese American who was born in San Francisco, and then attended Parsons in New York , the most prestigious fashion design school in the U.S. He was already well-known when he graduated from Parsons. He looks very young, just like a teenager. I really like his designs that are very flowing, baggy and simple. You can see that he only uses organic fabrics and solid colors. It is like the well-designed American Apparel. People asked him that where does your inspiration come from? He replied like a little kid, "well, actually it is from the girls on the street in Downtown Manhattan. " His clothes are multi-functional, extremely wearable, not over the top but very cool and hip. His design makes me associated with a word that is "supermodel attitude".

Vivian's picks



I think that it is time for me to tell you guys what I like, what my taste is. Vivian's girls are 60% Marc Jacobs with 15% vintage touch and the left 25% could be from anywhere. I like European fashion more than Japanese fashion, it may sound weird, because most of people think that any girls who are from Asia are supposed to be addicted to J-Fashion. However, I am not one of them. Probably, because I like nice and clean tailored jacket or love Rock-n-Roll and Acid Jazz, or adore the overall vibe that Western culture has created in terms of fashion and pop art. Well, I still admire a lot of Japanese fashion designers, and think they are fantastic on deconstruction and layered looks. I found myself to start loving London fashion since two years ago, I've watched their websites all the time, such as topshop.com and asos.com. They are great websites, and they convey the latest trends. Personally, I think that London fashion is more hip and edgier than anywhere. Not to mention that I love English accent. I post some looks that I love referred from asos.com as above. These girls kill and are smoking hot!
