"A mix of downtown cool, rocker grunge, and French chic, Alexander Wang's namesake label has attracted the attention of scores of the world's premier luxury retailers and celebrities, including Megan Fox, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Gwyneth Paltrow. A Parsons drop-out, Wang launched his first women's ready-to-wear collection in 2007 to resounding applause, and has since added the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2008 and the Swarovski Womenswear Designer of the Year Award in 2009 to his growing list of accolades."--Publisher website.
