Alexander Wang launched his label in 2005, aged 21. His fashion career began at age 15, when he attended a summer design programme at Central Saint Martins, and at 18, he moved to NYC to attend Parsons School of Design. After two years of studying, he dropped out to launch his own knitwear label based on unisex silhouettes, which eventually evolved into ready-to-wear fashion.

He debuted his first runway collection in 2007 at New York Fashion Week. Years later, he won multiple fashion awards from prestigious competitions such as Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund, Swarvoski Womenswear Designer of the Year, Swiss Textiles Award, and more.

Wang was appointed creative director of Balenciaga in 2012, and remained in the position until 2015. Today, Alexander Wang has created a name for himself in the fashion industry and created custom designs for celebrities and prestigious events such as the Met Gala, and more.
