Was there a riot in Brooklyn last night? More of a fashion riot as Alexander Wang took over the whole street to showcase ‘Wangfest’ SS18 collection.

 

Metal barricades lined the streets which crowd of fans lined behind in anticipation for what looked to be one of the coolest shows at NYFW. After almost an hours delay a black tour bus pulled up and out came Kaia Gerber and marched down the pavement to the cheer of the onlookers.

 

With model after model, including Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, Wang created the must-have pieces of any Coachella goer next year. There was a lot of black, edgy hardware and headpieces with logo’s like Party Animal written on them.

 

 

Mixed in with all the mini dresses and structured separates, there was plenty of tailoring with loose long zip up blazers and oversized shirting. Streetwear also dominated with cargo pants styled with a leather black corset over a white lace top.

 

Through all the toughness there was a gentle sense of femininity with satin fabrics, lace trim camis stitched together with sweatshirts and shirts, chic tweed jacket with oversized distressed denim, sequin crop tops and tailored trousers with round-the-waist sleeves. The collection is as ideal for a girl who loves blazers over slip dresses as well as a girl who you’d spot crowd surfing at rock concert.

 

Now that’s a festival we can get on board with.
