All the Rage: Alexander Wang


It looks like Alexander Wang's 2009 spring shoe collection, featuring the "peep-toe bootie" is all the rage this season. Wang, a former San Francisco native, has been known to incorporate his experiences and background into his collections. With this being said, it is apparent the inspiration for his current collection mirrors all the elements of street fashion. 

Af first glance, his designs reflect a fairly imperfect correspondence of ideas. However, Wang is able to transform the function of "the boot" into an alluring fashion-forward trend. The idea is basically brilliant. A peep-toe bootie that serves as a transition into spring.  As for trend wise I am totally on board. The only problem is, I have yet to been able to locate them. I originally spotted them in the Barneys  New York  spring 2009 catalogue, but when I went to check them out, they were no where to be found. 

Conclusions: Is it love? Yes. Fashion forward? Absolutely. Practical? Inconclusive. Therefore, mission Alexander Wang chain peep-toe bootie is to be continued...
