NFW: Highlights of SPRING 2013 READY-TO-WEAR by Alexander Wang



Alexander Wang about his collection:
"After last season's austerity,"he explained, "I wanted to pull garments apart, experiment with volumes." Wang's is a precise kind of deconstruction. The clothes were all right angles—no asymmetries here—and the scalpel-sharp slices that separated the graphic panels of everything from a clinical white cotton shirtdress to a sand-dune-colored leather jacket were hand-tacked like sutures. As the show progressed, the splices became cutouts in wavy zebra stripes. The experiment reached its culmination in a series of sexy dresses that seemed to float on the body thanks to the invisible fish-line embroidery holding them together. The designer called the effect Tron-like. Fun fact: The first fishing line they tried melted under the heat of the irons used to press the samples, so team Wang had to devise a new one of their 
own.

Street Style: Cycle ahead : Oxford Circus London





 I was heading over for a pick up to Arkadia Group and saw this guy awaiting a light change, was taken aback how he stood out from the grey and stone wash oxford circus rotunda.  Brining pop of colour with his bike and red Vans and checkered shirt.
