To mark the Lunar New Year festivities, the acclaimed fashion designer Alexander Wang has unveiled collection that pays tribute to the Year of the Dragon. The capsule, inspired by the dynamic and abstract lines characteristic of 90s tribal tattoos, showcases a bold fusion of traditional symbolism and modern design.
The collection highlights a striking mirrored crystal hotfix dragon motif, a design element that adds a vibrant energy to a range of unisex apparel. This includes a plush velour camp shirt, a cozy lounge set, and an eye-catching minidress. Each piece in the collection blends comfort with style.
Complementing the apparel, the collection also features a series of red accessories. This color choice is not arbitrary – red is a potent symbol in many Asian cultures, often associated with power, luck, and prosperity. These accessories serve as stylish additions to the wardrobe and also as embodiments of the dragon’s formidable yet auspicious presence. Aligning with the themes of the R24 collection, this capsule challenges traditional dress and gender codes. The pieces are designed to be worn interchangeably, regardless of gender.
Available for purchase both in-store and online at alexanderwang.com, the collection offers a range of styles priced between $395 and $895.
