If you’ve been following Alexander Wang for a lot more than a season or two, odds are that lots of of the bags he sent down his fall 2015 runway this week will look familiar to you. That’s not just since they were mostly re-proportioned takes on two of his a lot of popular shapes, the Rocco as well as Emile, however since they were black, as all of Wang’s a lot of popular bags have started out being.

Few contemporary designers are as carefully associated with a color as Wang is with black, as well as his show was bathed practically entirely in the color this season, including the bags. They were likewise wearable as well as consumer-minded in a way that Wang’s runway bags normally aren’t; he tends to opt for something high-minded as well as conceptual for the runway while waiting to unveil his a lot more industrial bags through less glamorous avenues.

I don’t know what Wang’s accessory sales are like, however I’d guess they’re mostly strong however not growing as swiftly as they were when the Rocco was a new hit. A a lot more consumer-oriented accessories method on the runway might be a way to churn up some interest, however the real fix for the problem is to create a hot new bag. Wang is well capable of that, however it’s not in this lot of old favorites.
