As a good New York Fashion Week outsider, Alexander Wang has just presented his “Collection 2” for the Fall 2019 season, bringing the eternal New York diatribe between Uptown and Downtown.
On the one hand we find the wealth of the Uptown girls (in the northern part of Manhattan) with a modest style that refers to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, wife of Kennedy scion John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr., with straight hair, in order adorned by a circlet, on the other hand, the Downtown girls (the area further south of Manhattan) appear with their pigtails and a freer and jaunty style. The dichotomy between the so-called good girl and the rebel was clearly visible in looks, long dresses for a more classic style and leather, shorts, leopard jackets for a less conformist style.
But it does not end here. On the catwalk, the designer also shows some strong references to his time in college in some great preppy moments with polo shirts built entirely with colored safety pins and soft ribbed sweaters paired with long leather skirts or oversized rugby shirts with studded crests and boxer shorts pinstripes.
However, it is a case of a series of articles that have a long history in American fashion, from Bill Blass to Perry Ellis to Marc Jacobs, and I suspect that Wang, in his own way, is paying homage to you.
Wang has combined everything in a perfect 80s style, from tweed, to lace, to leather, to denim to create a chic wardrobe that has that casual and elusive quality. The tailor was perfect. Especially on trench coats and blazers (both women’s and men’s) that show more weighted shoulders than they should, for that casually oversized sensation.
However, there are also looks of an individualistic nature composed of jackets and tuxedo shirts that I can seem rather bold, but never as much as the fetishist catsuit made of black lace.
