Designer Alexander Wang has officially reached a decade in the fashion business and to celebrate he created the #WANG10 capsule line that brings back popular bestselling pieces from the last 10 years. The collection is an eclectic mix of styles and designs, speaking to the various years that the garments are pulled from.
The #WANG10 collection was cleverly designed to invite fans of the brand to help decide what pieces should be brought back. The collection chose 25 top pieces that were bestsellers and then opened up the voting to social media asking fans which pieces they'd like to see brought back for purchase. The 2009 spring collection seemed to have the most favorites, with four pieces being selected. Each of the garments are edgy with fun textures like fridge and mesh.
