We are ecstatic that the Alexander Wang Spring collection is finally hitting stores!

In fact, NJ is obsessed, as in totally obsessed, with Wang’s “Manuel” Mary Jane  in black and white and has already pre-ordered a pair!

In case this collection hasn’t been on your radar, weather-friendly fabrics and utilitarian outerwear are the centerpieces of the Alexander Wang Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear Runway. Menswear was the jumping-off point for the collection, with classic suiting being used for everything from spaghetti-strapped slip dresses to the waistbands of leather shorts.  We even see a chunky platform heel that reminds us of the 90’s. There is a not so innocent school girl tone to Spring, so get ready!
