As it approaches winter here in Australia its nice to see that the rest of the world is being kind to the opposite seasons in their fall collections. Alexander Wang's show was brilliant, the contrasts in the fabrics he used were amazing, as were the cuts and tailoring. The clothes looked warm even though America/Europe is heating up. Velvet became cool again as did leather and pinstripes, the kinds of fabrics more commonly reserved to "the dark alternative". The strange thing was, and I may have been wrong, who knows, that I didn't get even the faintest impression that the show and clothes were gothic.
I'll be surprised If those leather trimmed pants in the first picture aren't commandeered by Paris Vogue. Also, how warm does that cardigan look? And how can a fur bra look that enticing? Same goes for the leather/velvet dress, it reminds me of Joan of Arc, which is always a good thing.
The deconstructed suit, fitted around the navy velvet made this one of my favorites from this collection, the styling is extraordinary because of the small peeks of skin and the backpack I would say it had a "cheeky-ness" to it but, that word makes me cringe. The second picture, cut-out red velvet... I can even wrap my head around how he made that!
There has never been a better reason for another Matrix movie, except this one would have Charlotte Gainsbourg in it too and she'd wear this.
The dress on the right looks like a deflated version of one of this dress from the Viktor & Rolf s/s10 collection, also it reminds me of how Alber Elbaz does pastels, therefor I really liked this dress. Those boots remind me of David Bowie, another good thing.
