Alexander Wang’s Fall/Winter 2014 Ad Campaign
Entitled “Survival”, Alexander Wang’s Fall/Winter 2014-15 advertising campaign stars models Anna Ewers, Vanessa Moody, Katlin Was, Lexi Boling and Kat Hessen. Shot by Steven Klein in St. Cecilia in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the inspiration behind the campaign, according to Wang was reminiscent of the environment of a boarding school he had attended, which led to the conception of “the idea of survival at a reformation camp… [and] in those limiting environments, there are always temptations to rebel, to react and to test yourself”
Well, I don’t know about a reformation camp-like setting, but it reminded me more of an asylum sans padded walls and straitjackets.
