NYFW: Alexander Wang Ready To Wear Spring '15



One of the most anticipated Spring 15 collections of NYFW has just stormed the runway and it was not disappointing. I've been slothing it in bed for the last two hours waiting for the live stream to start and waiting for some of my favorite fashion bloggers to post their instagram pics, such as Claire Marshall and Bryan Boy.

Vogue.com already has a slideshow up of the runway show so i can slowly admire each look.

The first thing i noticed whilst watching the collection was the futuristic essence it had. It involved very neat silhouettes From Maxi dresses to boxy bombers, to beautiful bralettes. but with a fresh modern finish. I think nearly every look had the stunning high neckline with varied color accenting.

This is what i adore about Wang. Your normal plain white t shirt and black shorts walked the runway but your white t shirt had elongated boxy sleeves with stunning sheer paneling and curved seams with a high metallic detailed neck. Paired with black running shorts over actual knee length suit shorts.


Do not fear, Wang did not stray from his famous monochrome color scheme, but he did parade some fresh and beautiful vibrant colors also:
NEON DREAM, three dresses in beautiful bright shades and different silhouettes. They all behold that continuous futuristic vibe with the paneling of darker hues. 

Some of my other favorite looks from the collection:

Another maxi look in that amazing grey shade. Wang finishes this maxi look with a fitted long sleeve with elongated fabric button fastening stopping above the waist. Also matched with Wang's formation of the sandwich bag clutch.
I must say the flow of this dress on the live stream was sensational.
A very clean black dress upgraded with some beautiful gradient colors through the center of the dress to form this colorful bodice on the model.
Wang slayed this monochrome look with a strappy dimensional crop top that projected its own visual illusion. But what i love most about this look is the trousers. Incredible high wasted suit trousers with button poppers down the outside of the legs inspired by the 90's iconic adidas popper trackies.
A beautiful yellow ribbed top with a grey and black high neckband paired with black tailored trousers with paneled pockets and mesh heels.
one of my top faves. A crisp futuristic but ethereal look from this maxi t shirt dress with mesh paneling.
one of the dresses from the collection in a beautiful light grey hue with a red accented neck and matching grey strappy heels. The dress appears to have the finish of neoprene with its boxy finish and its car Tyre esque embossing on the entire dress.
A futuristic monochrome and red accent ensemble. The cropped boxy top is finished in gorgeous leather paneling with a modest white mesh insert down the centre.
A gorgeous white mesh/airtex boxy bomber with a forest green leather finish on the clean collar, paired with double layered and what to appears to be white leather, sports luxe shorts. This look instantly reminded me of the adidas stan smith's as they have the same color way, and quite frankly i think this ensemble with them stan smith's would be killer.
We have seen looks like this before by Brands like Balenciaga and Zara, but this is the best i've seen it yet. A boxy white neoprene suit jacket with tailored black trousers.

The textile closed in heel, closer up.
Barcode Collar detailing for this look. such an underused motif. bring it back wang yasss.

Wang included this gorgeous red blue and white textile in the collection. Here it can be seen in a halterneck crop top with a central cut out detail.



Rihanna arriving at the show in a metallic blue bucket hat and anorak dress ensemble with the red mesh heels from the show.

It's safe to say i am obsessed with this collection by Wang for Spring 15. It had once again some of his killer monochrome looks in beautiful formations, but also some stunning color pieces incorporated, all finished in amazing fabrics and paired with accessories that i'm sure Wang fans will covet. 

If there was going to be one thing id change about this collection it would be i wish i didn't experience its beauty from my bed and i could see it slaying the runway in the flesh. I stay dreaming for the day to come where ill be at NYFW.

jordan, REGAL RAGS!
