Fashion Week Countdown: Alexander Wang Edition

All photos: UnBeige

The countdown to Fashion Week continues here on UnBeige, and today we tip our black cashmere beanies to Alexander Wang, the buzzed-about young designer who knows the importance of creating a unified runway look that sets fashion editors obsessing over things like elegantly demolished denim shorts (perfect over sheer ripped tights that suggest one has spent the day scaling chain-link fences and starting trouble). How does the 2008 Swarovski award nominee do it? Faith in contrasts—”street and luxe, sexy versus androgyny, and where vagabond meets a street-smart modernist”—and edgy styling by his friend/muse and model/stylist Erin Wasson, who joined Wang on the runway after the showing of his fall 2008 collection (pictured above and below) at Eyebeam in West Chelsea.
