Transitional clothing can frustrate the best of us. Good thing, come autumn, Alex Wang has got you covered with streamlined, multi-functional design for Pre-Fall 2014.
Immediate attention should be paid to the collection's standouts. Must-haves include the not-so-simple black dresses—one is interrupted by long, white side paneling, while another has a reinforced halter neckline. The architectural, pinstriped separates (the MIXED PINSTRIPE PEPLUM TANK and the MIXED PINSTRIPE SKIRT) redefine workwear. And we can't forget the two long, belted coats that feature a bit of tailored androgyny (one of them is reversible). All of which should be classified as sexy and urban.
The concept of deconstruction or “deterioration,” as our friends at Style.com labeled it, played a major role as well. Sporty sweatshirts had large, back-revealing cutouts like the PEEL AWAY BACK SWEATSHIRT, or in case of the CAST OFF TORN PULLOVER, there are rips and tears all over, suggesting what acid rain can do to a sweater. However, in terms of functionality, they're sure to come in handy with a bit of added ventilation, you know, just in case we're looking at an Indian summer.
