In Beyonce fashion, Alexander Wang (@AlexanderWangNY) is dropping an entire denim collection within a short times notice. The designer who just announced to his Instagram account yesterday along with a very provocative photo with the caption, “#ComingSoon… #DENIMxAW #AWLaunch.”
“It’s not provocative just in terms of sexy, but provocative to provoke conversation,” Wang said to WWD. “I’m not dictating what that message is exactly. The interesting part is to see how people interpret it, and what they have to say about it. Of course, there are going to be people who disagree with it. It’s such an oversaturated market, as everyone knows.”
The images circulating the internet are of Anna Ewers covered in oil with her Alexander Wang jeans pulled halfway down, to which Wang says, “Once you see it, you can’t stop thinking about it.”
The collection launched yesterday and will already be available for sale next week on December 8 in Wang’s New York store as well as online. The denim line included three different jean cuts, each in three different washes. The Wang 001 is considered a slim fit verses a skinny fit with a high rise waist and 1 percent stretch stretch for the two indigo washes and 2 percent stretch for the black wash. The Wang 002 is a relaxed fit with no stretch, it is a classic mens jean cut, created to fit the woman’s body. The Wang 003 is a boy cut, which sits lower and has a wider leg, but is not referred to as a “boyfriend jean.” All of the jeans have been manufactured in Los Angeles and will be priced between $225 and $295.
“As someone who wears jeans almost every day,” said Wang, “I wanted to do something that I really believed in and that felt really authentic and had all of the nuances that me and my friends want.”
