Alexander Wang FALL 2019 READY-TO-WEAR

 This played out on the runway as a fusion of uptown and downtown elements, some of which blended more successfully than others: sherbet-color tweed suiting accompanied by black leather apron skirts, camel coats topping boxer shorts, or T-shirts paired back to tuxes.....

 Icons of the upper crust—tennis sweaters, rugby shirts, and polos—were tweaked with asymmetric cuts or unlikely materials like safety pins. Brass W buckles looked like a play on Hermes’s famous H.

 As for the leather and leopard-spot garment bags that many of the models wore slung over their shoulders, Wang said they were inspired by images of 1980s career types toggling between the office and the health club.

 They’re unlikely It bag contenders. But Wang does have a way with denim—see: the peeled-over waistband jeans, which looked coolly relatable with boxy blazers and bankers’ button-downs.
