Inspiration from Alexander Wang



I have featured one of these Quontum dresses (the one on the right to be precise) on this blog before. When I first seen this A/Wang dress for the S/S '09 collection, I thought it was pretty rad' for him- probably because of the splash of colour (turquoise to be precise). Obviously the Quontum dresses are very different from the Wang ones, but I'm kind of feeling this whole block colour thing and I think it works particularly well with the black. So I won't be parading around in a bright 3 coloured dress. The black makes such a difference- in a good way. I would have never have pictured Diane Kruger in this dress but I feel she works it pretty well. It's always great when a certain designer/celebrity/model whoever has a certain trademark or whatever and then they turn around and do something totally different and work against the grain. Not that I think Alex is 'revolutionary' in designing the dress or some of the rest of the S/S collection (as a lot of the stuff is quite typical 'wang') but he deserves credit for thinking outside the box.
