The Curse of Alexander Wang and "Edgy Minimalism"

I don't like Alexander Wang. Gasp!!! Sacrilegious! Blasphemy!! Ah well get over it.

I agree that when he first came out as a designer his work was different and new but now....not so much. Yes he still gets props for being the first but now it seems like 90% of the design students are trying to be him. No. I am sorry but if your stupid enough to think that this is something that will still be trending when we graduate you deserve your mediocrity. Alexander wang will always have a cult of followers but you impostors, copycats, and same'o'same'o's....naaahh. It is time for something different. The world needs balance, and the next obvious step to combat the disease of blackness and minimalism that has taken over is the rise of exuberance extravagance and outrageousness. The world needs something beautiful, happy and over the top. Yes you say there is Alexander McQueen. But is he happy? I don't think McQueen really qualifies as happy. And I'm not just talking kinda happy I'm talking so freaking excited that you cant help but dance around in little circles in your underwear while singing to Taylor Swift kinda happy. that void is growing and its begging for someone to fill it.

Until its filled the world will be overrun with sick little fashion wrecks that insist on looking like a black and white photo. Its old and expected. And personally I'm over it, no offense Mr. Wang.
