Alexander Wang’s office workers ain’t your average 9-to-5ers.
The boy wonder put his guests in cubicles in the former Times Square home of Conde Nast to show a collection heavy on black leather with zippers for miles.
There were zippers in circle pockets, as embellishment for edgy little black dresses and on sturdy jackets. Some carried a range of chain-handled purses. One, a clutch, was — yes — adorned with zippers.
When not in black and zippered, Wang’s walkers wore cosy track suits, some in light gray. He provided pops of pink on the fronts of several looks that were black at the backs.
Before his runway came alive, eerie footstep sounds were played as rows of fluorescent ceiling lights flickered. Alfred Hitchcock would have approved.
All of this left his Wangfest vibe behind in favour of the corporate theme, AWG, for Alexander Wang Group. His invitations arrived days ago with a credit card graphic, and some of his models sported the word Platinum on their looks.
This was officewear fit for the future with a touch of ‘90s thrown in.
Among Wang’s front row guests was Bella Hadid, usually more on the runways than off.
