Alexander Wang Fall 2010- Runway Review

Designer: Alexander Wang

Inspiration: "Underworld" meets deconstructed Wall Street

Top Looks: Black detachable trench coat with mink back and pinstripe suit with bandeau top; Mustard mohair sweater with charcoal gray pinstripe pants with leather trim; red velvet dress with black lace cape attached; ruched black mini-cape dress with asymmetrical chiffon cut out

Accessories: Thigh-high leggings in chenille and knit wool; Wang's own line of sky-high black boots; velvet oversized sunglasses created in conjunction with Linda Farrow; charchoaled 18k gold cuffs and collars by Gaia Repossi; velvet backpacks with streams of tulle attached

Who Was There: Alice Dellal, Zoe Kravitz

What We Thought:
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.

More curious was Wang's use of the grandmotherly fabric chenille which was omnipresent throughout the collection in bellbottomed thigh-highs, crop tops, and flared pants.

But, as is so often the case, when you're a hot young designer like Wang, if you build it they will come. He's still too hot to get cold.

This spring, relaxed, slouchy pants will be in, like those boyfriend pants that I blogged about earlier this week. Well, reach out in your closet and pull out your old cargos because cargo pants are included in that mix. If you need a pair, you've got some time to shop before the weather warms up. Eddie Bauer is a good place to start. They've got a bunch of colors and sizes. I also like the new cargos from The Gap.

How should you build your outfit? First, roll up your cargos -- that always looks best. Then, go with a boyfriend blazer and a chunky heel -- they look just right. And finally, tailor your top to the time of day; slouchy tees for the day and fun, sequin or embellished tops for the night. These pants serve a dual purpose. Gotta love it!
