As everyone knows, it’s currently New York Fashion Week. If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, then I don’t know what to tell you. Alexander Wang put on a show for his fall 2015 ready-to-wear collection. I’m such a sucker for black, so this collection was practically speaking to me.
The outfit that inspired me today was actually the first look that came out, which was a black leather top with a black blazer and cropped high-waisted trousers. His whole collection was inspired by using beaded embellishments, velvet overlay and leather pieces. Most of the looks also rocked beaded high platform boots.
I looked in my closet to see what I had. Leather top, check. Black blazer, duh. Cropped trousers, well hmm. That was my issue. I didn’t have any cropped trousers that Wang had used, so I had to get a little creative. I used my cigarette trousers and some double-sided tape to roll up the pant leg to make it appear cropped. I also decided to change the look a little more by using a teal blazer with leather accents instead of a black blazer. For my makeup, I decided to try the “make-under” look. And Fashionistas/os, I came up with an awesome outfit!
Alexander Wang came up with a beautiful collection that inspired me to look outside the box, and that’s what any collection should make you do. Be innovative. If you don’t have something in your closet, make it appear that you do. That’s what being a Fashionista/o is all about!
Get My Look: 1. A long teal blazer. 2. A leather top. 3. A pair of cropped trousers.
