Of Fashion and Furniture.

I happened to chance upon this article by Design-Milk a few days ago and couldn't help but get excited over it. According to said website, famed minimal fashion designer Alexander Wang is crossing borders yet again, but this time with furniture. I have an enormous love for modern and simple designs and when I saw photos of the furniture, I was pleasantly surprised! Alexander Wang partnered up with Italian leather maker Poltrona Frau to create these stunning pieces for a modern home. 


The black and gold motif is pretty timeless and something I always see in his designs. Remember the Beats collaboration he did? That color scheme popped up there too. 

I read also that Wang spent two years working on this capsule collection that consists of bean bag chairs with brass bases and a bar cart. I'm quite fancying the beanbag chairs to be honest. If they came in white I'd buy it in an instant. 


The bean bag also comes in a shearling version. I'd rather get the leather one. 

I also love how the barcart can double as a mini stand. Furniture that has double usage is always a good idea.


If I were an extremely wealthy furniture connoisseur, you can expect these in my future loft. lol.

The capsule collection is to hit stores February.

ALEXANDER WANG X BEATS BY DRE

What do you get when you cross world renowned designer Alexander Wang and iconic headphone brand Beats? You get this super sleek, and very modern collection. 





 The collection features Wang's sleek matte black colours, along with his famous gold accents. Each one comes with their own glossy case, zipper, and clip. The pieces price at $499 for the headphones, $299 for the speakers, and $149 for the earbuds. Not surprised at the price, or the fact that is a limited edition collection! Only 1000 of these units are made. I'm not so sure how many are left since these were offered on a presale event on December 15th on the official Beats website, and went on sale publicly on the 16th at Alexander Wang's official site, and Beats's respective one as well. 

WWD held an interview with Alexander Wang and he states that "it felt right and a natural choice for me to give the Beats Studio headphones, Beats Pill and Urbeats earbuds a clean, minimal look with a luxe sensibility.” 

As for my personal opinion, I can honestly care less for Beats. I find them to be extremely overly hyped and way too expensive; but with the Alexander Wang collaboration, I can say that he gave the brand a very modern and very minimalistic redesign that I can honestly say is super cool, and definitely stylish. Alexander Wang kept the "Alexander Wang" look while still being on a brand other than his. Hats off to you Mr. Wang, you've done it again!
