Last week , Alexander Wang was awareded the prestigious CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award, worth US $200,000. I think he is definitely a deserving winner, with an amazing Spring Summer 09 collection and an army of dedicated followers including many celebrities. Alexander Wang has his own brand of laid back cool with his designs being labelled as ‘new grunge’.

Alexander Wang beat a whole list of promising hopefuls including Richard Chai, Alejandro Ingelmo, Irene Neuwirth, Juan Carlos Obando, Obedient Sons & Daughters and Organic. Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava and Albert Q Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus were each awarded runners up prizes of $50,000.

 The much talked about and coveted Spring Summer collection by Alexander Wang, featured his signature Grunge girl look but with a newer focus. More colour, more body concious and more sexy, his latest collection but still with that relaxed and ultra cool feel. Alexander Wangs clothes are also becoming more accesible for people like me with the launch of his diffusion label T by Alexander Wang which includes T shirt dresses and other casual pieces.
