Alexander Wang Laser Cuts His Own Name

Alexander Wang has done some magnificent work with laser cutting materials in the past, but this time he took it to a different level: self branding. I am not typically a huge brand-name-wearing kind of person, but to me, this is brilliant. Yesterday, numerous models strutted the catwalk sporting laser cut Alexander Wang pieces, and it caught everyone's attention on social media. It is clean, sleek and I am certain everyone is going to want a dress, jacket, shirt or belt with Alexander Wang's name laser cut right into it for Spring 2014.

Hashtag New York Fashion Week

Beauty shot from WWD

I don't know if it is the mere fact that #NYFW has taken over the twitter world, or if it is the constant live streaming of shows, but New York Fashion Week got me good this year. I am obsessed with constantly checking the shows, leading me to find even more designers I did not know existed. It is killing me that I will be occupied for a good 8 hours tomorrow for a photo shoot - meaning I cannot just sit with my macbook and love life. Today was an interesting day in the world of fashion for me as one of my favorites - Prabal Gurung - took to the runway and stole my heart, yet again. Military style, neutral palette, sex appeal and I was sold. Chunky knits, leather accents and killer shoes were all an added bonus. Then I get told that one of my classmates here in Toronto flew down to NY to walk in Alexander Wang's show (check out last photo), so excited for her! New York Fashion Week has just begun already I am hooked. xxx
