Alexander Wang Thinking Quotations

There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.

I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

I don't think fashion week will go back to what it used to be because people are realising that the industry is completely changing. It's not just in Bryant Park any more, people are figuring out who their audience is, where they want to show, they aren't really playing by the rules. It's not so much about these editors, these buyers.

I think sometimes there are negative connotations for those who have a business mind as well as a creative side.

If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.

A lot of designers get caught up in the creativity, but you've got to think about the legs of your collection - essentially, how the line is going to move forward.

I think everyone shares a fear of failure-that you're only as good as your most recent collection.
