Fresh Faces
11 years ago by
The Alexander Wang show had a lot of hype this season. It always does, but this one also marked his 10 year anniversary – and he put a lot of effort into it… Even more than the usual.
The one, new thing I thought was very cool, was his resolution to pass his success on. In the casting, at least. Alongside well-established models such as Anna Ewers and Binx Walton, Wang cast a bevy of newcomers in his landmark show.
And backstage, it kind of changed everything. There was real excitement and the sense of ijustcantbelieveitsreal from so many of the models – and that’s not typical. It felt like such a moment. And for many of the fresh faces in his show, it was… It was a moment that really kickstarted their career.
I really admire when successful people try to pass it on in some small way. How about you? And what did you think of his show?
I applaud him for casting fresh faces and I think it’s great that Celine is using them as well in the print campaign. If I see Karlie Kloss one more time, I’m going to scream.
love seeing fresh faces

It would have been nice if he also included more brown skinned / black models in his show. That would also have left an impression.
I disagree. Would have loved to see the older models walk the runway, especially for his 10 year anni. Also, is it just me, or are the models getting uglier? Don’t mean to be rude, but seriously.
