Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2011 Womenswear

Alexander Wang 11 September 2010 New York







"Did you notice anything?" asked Alexander Wang at a preview earlier this week. He paused a beat. "There's no black!" That's right, New York's prince of downtown darkness is turning toward the light. "I was looking for something optimistic," he said, "something pure."

The show began with a series of all-white looks that felt—for anyone who recalled his witchy Wall Street Fall—as fresh as cannonballing into a pool in late August. He worked a construction motif into these deconstructed looks: Coverall straps crisscrossed on the backs of loose, smocklike dresses; there were stiff canvas carpenter's jackets and pants, and industrial materials like Tyvek and what looked like silver insulation. White paint was in the models' hair, and the slashes of rose gold here and there were meant to evoke duct tape.

Spring, Wang explained, was also a reaction to the ubiquity of a look that he had a hand in popularizing: If everyone does a skinny jean and motorcycle jacket, it isn't new anymore, is it? His success with that genre has been enviable. The construction theme was, indeed, a crossover from the building boom he's experiencing in real life—an expanding studio, a new Tribeca apartment, and his first store, on Grand Street. So the trick here was to turn the fashion page while still letting his dedicated Wang-ettes preserve their street cred. Yes, they'll love a scribble print created by having his staff doodle on butcher paper. But while the finale of ivory, mint, and terra-cotta had a certain beauty, it's not clear whether his proposal of midi hems and dresses that read Belgian instead of Boom Boom will be the right solution.

Sophie Gayot KTLA The Morning Show Stephane Rolland

Stephane Rolland





PARIS, Jan 6, 2009 / FW/ — And now, they are up to 15! French designer Stéphane Rolland is now an official member of Haute Couture and thus has earned the right to use the haute couture designation for his apparel.

In an announcement released by the Chambre syndicale de la haute couture, France’s fashion governing body, the Commission de Classement Couture Création attributed this honor and status to Monsieur Rolland following a meeting on December 16, 2008.

Officially the newest member of Haute Couture, with his couture house newly launched just last June 2007; Stéphane Rolland is a well-known name among the very exclusive clientele of haute couture having helmed Jean-Louis Scherrer Haute couture for 10 years.

Spending his formative years in the South of France, Argentina and the West Indies, Stéphane Rolland’s love for fashion brought him to Paris where he studied at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne.

At the age of 20, his talent was recognized by Balenciaga, who hired him to work on the menswear collections and promoted him into Creative Director within a year. Using the experience he gained for the past four years, Rolland left Balenciaga when he was 24 to design his own prêt-a-porter collection. It was an immediate success with over 80 boutiques and department stores stocking it worldwide during its first year of operation.

Always striving for excellence and pushing the envelope for fashion, Stéphane Rolland became the Creative Director of Jean Louis Scherrer Haute Couture. At 30, he was the youngest French couturier on Avenue Montaigne.

Not resting on his laurels and always willing to try something new, Stéphane Rolland experimented with costume design between 2006 and 2007. His work did not go unnoticed. He was nominated for Moliere Awards and officially became a partner of the Cannes Film Festival.
