Here’s What Happened in the 24 Hours Before Alexander Wang’s Spring 2019 Show

I eat Chinese food probably more often than I should.

All my friends have this joke that

they won't even invite me out to dinner or whatever

unless it's like Asian food.

This is a tradition, coming to En,

but happy to have my entire family,

actually my dad's not here yet, but in town.

And yeah, hopefully they're gonna enjoy the show tonight.

I really started this thinking

about this collectsion as a personal story,

not only about how I got to New York

but how I got to America.

And I had taken a family trip recently,

and it was kind of crazy that it was the first time

I'd asked my parents about their story

when they first arrived as immigrants.

And it was so inspiring,

and for it to be something that really

started the kickoff of the entire collectsion,

rock and roll music,

football,

motorcycle culture,

and then taking this idea of chinoiserie

and maybe fabrications and motifs that feel more

precious and kind of really just juxtaposing them

and kind of creating a new language.

In the football section,

I was really inspired by these,

when you go to football games and the camaraderie

and that kind of high-energy, high impact of fans

and so, we're going to do few kind of painted faces,

loosely inspired by different flags

and again motifs from the collectsion.

Hi guys, it's Kaia and Bella.

And where are we?

We're at Alexander Wang, darling.

Enjoy the show.

I was just really inspired by

the origins of where I came from

and what America's meant for me

and to have it be really inclusive

and it's always been diverse,

it's always been people,

there's never been that filter or that boundary.

And so, I wanted to celebrate that

and hopefully put it on a platform

that people can really engage with and enjoy.
