i loved the football/athletic-wear inspiration behind Alexander Wang's spring 2010 collection, but did not like the styling and execution as much. here's my take on the sporty look:
a high ponytail is the most appropriate hairstyle for this look, i think. (and also my hair needs a washing!)
drkshdw items all have this "tail" that i never know what to do with but i can never bring myself to cut it off...
a cashmere beanie completes the look.***
ITEMS (rollover mouse to view detailed picture)
drkshdw cropped sweatshirt
Rick Owens drawstring leather miniskirt (from Barneys sale/NYC)
Rick Owens ankle boots
Portolano cashmere beanie (from Filene's Basement/NYC)
Hermes collier de chien cuff
Marc by Marc Jacobs Latin rings (from MJ cheap accessories store on Bleecker St./NYC)
hammered silver ring (from the Met Museum gift shop/NYC)
Autumn Cashmere fingerless gloves with zippers
*** the artwork is framed photographs that my mother took of Jeanne-Claude + Christo's "The Gates" in Central Park. i'm planning an apartment/closet tour post sometime, i just have to finish furnishing my apartment!
love it. a much more chic way to look "sporty" than track sneakers and sweats! haha

ReplyDeletegreat outfit.. better than wang's, i agree.
ReplyDeleteThat look is brilliant. Your aesthetic is so focused!
ReplyDeleteI used to follow you on Style Diary and was pleasantly surprised to come across your blog. Love the way you edit your closet and your clean approach to fashion. Keep it up, I always look forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! Very Wang.

That is an amazing sweater. Love this look alot! Totally spot on with the leather skirt.
ReplyDeleteyou know, i effing hated that wang collection when i saw it on the runway, but i came across some of the pieces in opening ceremony today and they're not so bad in person. i think all the "sporty" styling was way over the top in the collection + the related editorials, but i think the pieces + looks like the one your'e wearing actually work quite well.
ReplyDeletePerfect, just perfect!
ReplyDeleteN.
Great pics! I love your skirt!
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing....i would pay to see your face just once...
ReplyDeletehaha. i cut mine off. i didnt' know what on earth to do with it either, but felt like i would look like an idiot with the tail hanging.
ReplyDeletere wang: the collection was a nice idea, but i MUCH prefer your execution. and not in the creepy blogger obsessed way. :-)
you look lovely here! that skirt is STILL to die for. your dry cleaning bill must be quite a killer.
I like the picture of you stepping out of the frame!
ReplyDeletecropped sweaters are not for me, but I do like how you styled it. the ponytail keeps it sporty and yet chic!
