I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.

No one ever taught me, and I never had formal classes in pattern making, so I was like, Okay, I'll just drape, and I'll sew as I pin it.

My mission was that I wanted to see people on the street that I don't know wearing my clothes. That excites me.

There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.

If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.

I am honoured to be a part of H&M's designer collaborations. The work with their team is an exciting, fun process. They are very open to pushing boundaries and to set a platform for creativity. This will be a great way for a wider audience to experience elements of the Alexander Wang brand and lifestyle.

I thought I would attend school and get an assistant position and work my way up but being in NY and seeing the pace of everything, is very inspiring.
