(Philipp)PLEIN & (Alexander) WANG fall 2018


Wang

Well he almost fooled me into thinking he had grown up and given up on contemporary sportswear and finally moved in to the big leagues with grown up clothes. WRONG! Every time I saw those circular pockets, all I could think of were the speakers on one of the old boom boxes. Then of course he lapses back into his hot pants, odd layering and tricked out overly zippered accoutrements.

One does have to wonder if the collection had been shown without the supposedly uber trendy pieces and embellishments … would this be a collection to rank among the young crop of designers like Vaccarello or Vauthier and such. Think about it … edit and restraint once again come to mind

 Plein de rien! Take away the logo, the over the top accessories and the showmanship and what exactly do you have here. Discuss amongst yourselves
