GQ speaks with ‘Best New Menswear Designers in America’ program winner for 2011, Alexander Wang for his T by Alexander Wang collection. As part of the piece, Wang discusses the distinction, its impact on his expansion and his partnering with Dockers to reinterpret the iconic khaki pant for the larger ‘Best New Menswear Designers in America x Dockers’ collection.
A first for this year, this Fall’s collection is comprised of khaki looks developed by each of the nominated designers. Wang’s fellow nominees included: Michael Bastian, Patrik Ervell, Warriors of Radness, Miller’s Oath and Riviera Club.
This Fall also marks the first time that Dockers has participated and collaborated with the ‘Best New Menswear Designers in America’ program, which was founded by GQ and The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in 2008.
The collection will be fully unveiled as part of Fashion’s Night Out next Thursday evening at the Bloomingdale’s store on 59th Street and Lexington Avenue in New York City. The kick-off event will be hosted by Donald Glover from the NBC comedy, Community.
