Alexander Wang’s aesthetic solidified the idea of model off-duty style. From his runway shows to the streets, M.O.D. is a look which has been coveted by many and perfected by few, though there’s no lack of trying. The basic pieces are there: leggings, oversize everything, and simple but innovative accessories, but it’s more than a look—it’s really an attitude.
“It’s this very disheveled look that I was known for from earlier shows,” Alexander explained. “But it goes deeper than that. I was thinking about how this high-low mix came about, and I felt that it originated from girls backstage. A model who runs around in jeans, but then she’s introduced to Karl Lagerfeld and he gives her a Chanel jacket that she throws on. It’s this idea that everything is the same, treated in a very equal way without rules.”
