Upon first glance, this collection didn't immediately feel all that 'Wang' to me - possibly due to the absence of his usual love for black. Although, watching the video of the show a couple of times definitely changed my mind. As each season goes on, this idea of the Wang girl - 'the model off duty' - is continually at central focus. Using the likes of Abbey, Freja and Anja was probably one of the smartest marketing tools ever employed by the label as now most of us probably associate them directly as being the 'Wang' girl. They are the official and unofficial face or embodiment of the label in uison. And although the clothes display this strong feeling of femininity, the addition of a chunky chain necklace as worn by Freja in the closing look, help maintain the traditional Wang edge. I don't know if my judgment is that clouded or not but, I have never been a white girl and this collection definitely feels like it could make white grow on me. Wearing all of the white altogether may be considered slightly ambitious here on the streets of Melbourne but one white piece paired with something colorful or black surely wouldn't be.
