This morning, Alexander Wang revealed WANGSQUAD, a polaroid series of 21 of the hottest faces in music and fashion. The snaps appear on a dedicated Instagram account, launched ahead of his fall/winter 16 show this Saturday at NYFW, Wang’s first since celebrating the 10th anniversary of his own brand last season and announcing his departure from Balenciaga.
Described as “day ones” — that is, people who have supported the brand ever since the beginning — the line-up includes musicians Travi$ Scott, Alice Glass, Vic Mensa, Aluna Francis of AlunaGeorge, CL, Makkonen, Baauer, painter Lucien Smith, Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber, Wang muse Anna Ewers and fellow models Binx Walton, Issa Lish, Lexi Boling, Hanne Gaby, Molly Bair, Peyton Knight and more.
Alexander Wang have not yet revealed the exact nature of the project, but a teaser video that flicks through the polaroids with a Baauer track playing ends by saying “Coming Soon March 2016,” with the hashtag #WangSS16. As he’s yet to reveal the season’s campaign imagery, this super cool cast might very well feature. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for more info on this hot project.
