THE TAIWANESE – AMERICAN FASHION DESIGNER WILL HOST A RUNWAY SHOW AND PARTY ON APRIL 19 IN LOS ANGELES CHINATOWN NEIGHBORHOOD.

CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES — American luxury brand Alexander Wang is back!

Titled “Fortune City,” the event will include a runway presentation of the designer’s pre-fall and fall 2022 collections, as well as a night market, live music and more. It will be open to the public as well as media.

Fortune City will celebrate the history of Chinatown, the significance of Asian American cultures and communities, and is being brought to life in partnership with the Southern California historic preservation organization Chinatown Corporation.

Wang was born and raised in San Francisco. His parents worked their way up from service jobs to owning their own plastics manufacturing business.

During his teenage years he lived with his two older siblings while his parents moved their company to China. Wang attended the posh Drew School in San Francisco.

He launched his brand in 2005. In the 2010s, he was a star of New York Fashion Week, known for his celebrity front rows and flashy after parties, with an urban design style that found inspiration in fetish wear and sportswear. From 2012 to 2015 he was the creative director of Balenciaga.

The last time he showed his namesake collection was in June 2019.

The Alexander Wang brand is currently sold through Net-a-porter, Saks Fifth Avenue and other retailers, as well as his flagships in New York, London, Shanghai and Beijing.
