Fashion Week Spring '10: Alexander Wang

There was a buzzing frenzy surrounding all that is Alexander Wang, from the show to the after-party last night. And with good reason. Alex Wang has done it again, landing a sporty, sexy trendsetting collection, with a football chic theme.

The it-girl wore a long, messy braid and knee-high socks with the calf cut out. I especially admire the tighty-whitey-type sports bra top. And I am loving the accessories, from the zip-up peep-toe booties and football-esque clutches in brown and black. The eyewear did make its way on the runway, as well.

What I admire most about the Alexander Wang, is that although he has been setting trends since his first collection,every piece is timeless in its own right, donning a effortless approach to cool, comfy and oh so chic.

The spring collection consisted of day and night pieces, with a neutral color palette of red, beige, blue, camel, grey, khaki, green, white and black.


See more of the fabulous collection after the jump.

The Best of The Costume Institute Gala

"Model as Muse" was the theme of this year's Costume Institute Gala at the Met in NYC. The Master and Mistress of Ceremonies were Marc Jacobs and Kate Moss, while top designers made an appearance with their favorite celebrities and models, adorned in their haute couture designs.

"Exploring the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty, The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion focuses on iconic models of the twentieth century and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion of their respective eras. The exhibition, organized by historical period from 1947 to 1997, will feature haute couture and ready-to-wear masterworks accompanied by fashion photography and video footage of models who epitomized their epochs."

Here are my top picks of the evening...
