Alex Wang on Live Stream, Die Antwoord in attendance.


Loved this collection. Lisbeth Salader wannabes take note. Lots of offerings here.

Start off with a gorgeous overstuffed shiny puffy vest with shiny leather opera gloves.























The trench coats were amazing, asymmetrical, half blazer- half trench bullet proof leather coverings with just enough movement in the lapels and slits to feel effortless despite their incredible toughness.  There was also a key theory of high slits, so gracefully --and enviously-- exhibited by the one and only Giselle Bundchen.






















This was a screen capture I took from the livestream. This model is staring into a mirror here so you can see both the front and the back of this look in this one shot.  Look how her hair loops into the back of the coat... its just amazing.























Die Antwoord (the South African "rap/rave group") below --WHO I JUST SAW IN PHILLY LAST NIGHT at the TrocaderoYolandi is perfect for Wang's alien- chic aesthetic, so I suppose it was only a matter of time.
