Alexander Wang Pre Fall 2015 for Lookbook Friday

Alexander Wang has always kind of went his own way, and after seeing boxy, relaxed fit and minimalist garments marching down the runways for the last couple of seasons, Wang’s striking body conscious and darkly sexy collection is a welcome change. Blame it on Christian Grey and his um “appetite” but bondage wear is becoming a trend, and this can certainly be seen in Alexander Wang’s pre fall collection.  Skirts are long and tight, in sensuous fabrics like velvet, leather, fishnet and a stretchy, puckered body clinging nylon like material which makes one think of under garments. Slip dresses in a satin like finish with barely there spaghetti straps in smoky shades of black and olive green embrace the female form with a simple sensuality. This overt sexuality is tempered (just a little) by more masculine influences like the men’s fit tailored trousers, the utilitarian jumpsuit in a black snakeskin print, and the cargo pants paired with a form fitting leather top. A men’s dressing gown inspired coat in black leather, suggests a how a women would look in her lover’s bathrobe. Gray plaid and wide paneled stripes break up the neutral pallet of solids in black, white, nude, olive green and burgundy. Fishnet tights, sixties inspired suede go go booties and cut out pumps round out this uber sexy collection and make me want to embrace my inner Anastasia Steele.
