With every new season, Alexander Wang makes a determined statement. In September he was sporty with a football-inspired collection, the season before it was all about the nightlife. This time around, while his fellow designers are coming up with menswear-inspired looks for women, he’s busy pulling them apart.

Wang’s deconstructed pinstripe suit came was tailored to fit his cool girl quotient. There were long-sleeve jackets that were cropped to right beneath the breast, high hemlines for short dresses, cutouts around the hips on pants and skirts, and bandeau tops in lieu of vests. Elsewhere the bottoms of waistcoats and minis partially overlaid long charcoal skirts.

Cheeky dresses also went sailing by in the form of a sleeveless red velvet dress with lace cape, a one-shoulder tarnished gold mini dress, and a nude velvet dress sliced in half with black sheer paneling.

But, as is so often the case, when you’re a hot young designer like Wang, if you build it they will come.
For now the Betties are not 100% sold on this collection but perhaps we’ll warm up to it … Wang is too hot to get cold!!
