Glamazons,
No matter the season, Alexander Wang‘s designs epitomize cool, urban edge. And few things are cooler than the gothic rock-and-roll scene. Perhaps inspired by the upcoming Marilyn Manson album, Wang showed an almost all-black collection at New York Fashion Week that felt even darker than his previous lines. Even the kids attending the show got the memo. Wang‘s adorable niece, Aila Wang, wore an all black outfit energized by a metallic bomber jacket:
And an aggy North West stole the show in a custom version of the pieces on the runway — a shiny bomber jacket and studded separates — with black Timberland boots.
Is it wrong that we’re pining for a mini-version of the goth-inspired collection?
Here are the deets on Alexander Wang Fall 2015:
Inspiration: Wang appeared to take his cue from goth rock-and-roll royalty with creatives citing Kiss, Nine Inch Nails and The Cure as inspiration for the beauty looks.
Key Pieces: Turtlenecks lined with studs, leather-paneled tops, flared dresses with shredded hems, peacoats with collars lined with studs, pants with shredded hems, studded leather bags and backpacks, plaid coats, shimmery see-through dresses, lace-up or buckled platform creepers.
Who I Could See Wearing This Collection: Zoe Kravitz and Nicki Minaj (who both sat front row), Rihanna, Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn, Kristen Stewart.
Check out more looks from the collection below:
Beauty: Models fully committed to the rock-and-roll aesthetic with jet-black, slick hair created by Guido Palau using Redken, and gothic makeup by NARS. “The inspiration is heavy metal rock – think Kiss. The look has a very gothic rock-and-roll feel,” said NARS lead artist Diane Kendal.
