Downtown goes Hawaiian at Alexander Wang and Altuzarra | Hollywood yohana
Forget Courtney Love or Alicia Keys. How to Make it in America star and one of my maj crushes Bryan Greenberg was sitting front row at yesterday’s Alexander Wang show and I wasn’t sure how I was going to concentrate on the show. But as the first girls walked out onto the incredible mirrored runway funhouse in day glo–lined, laser-cut leather utility vests and miniskirts it was clear that Wang’s upbeat downtown cool factor trumped a celeb crush any day. Hawaiian floral prints adorned sporty, motocross-inspired separates and Aztec prints got a modern makeover on skin hugging jersey. Perforated leather do-rags and motorcycle helmets were added as a tough-girl touch.
The Hawaiian theme, and leather theme to boot, continued later into the night at Joseph Altuzarra‘s, once again, ‘90s inspired collection. On a backdrop of stark black and whites, neoprene-structured dresses and birds of paradise prints were paired with laser-cut leathers (are we sensing a trend yet?), and nylon-webbed harnesses finished off the looks. Safety first? Keeping the ‘90s wild child in check? Although Altuzarra’s showing was on a slightly more grown-up scale (Wang was seen downing Jell-o shots at his post fete after all), it seems these two minds were cutting from the same cloth.
