Now the clothing brand Wes Gordon is interested, perhaps, everyone who is related to fashion. This twenty-two-year-old American graduation collection in St. Petersburg Martins made a real sensation, Wes was compared with other famous students of the design school: Alexander McQueen and John Galliano. Now, Wes Gordon predicts the way of Alexander Wang: his new collection less than a day ago was shown at New York fashion week. Harrods Magazine, the department's magazine, calls him the best new designer, and Vogue Daily asks to keep diaries of his trips. And although the latest collection of the designer causes direct associations with the house of Oscar de la Renta, where Wes trained for about six months, this does not prevent him from continuing to lead in the ratings of young talents. |
“I grew up in Atlanta and graduated from school there, after which the choice of designer’s career seemed more than strange: I had to, so to speak, swim against the tide. I met a Russian grandmother-designer who many years ago ran from Russia to America and kept a small workshop. She was a real couturier. It took me a lot of effort to convince her to give me lessons, and I was immensely happy when it happened. After school I went to her studio, worked for five hours. And not in vain. When I received a letter with a positive response from Saint Mar tins, I couldn’t hold back my tears. I still think this is the happiest moment in my life. During my studies I didn’t seem to have a rest even a day: every summer, for example, I had an internship. in Tom Ford. These houses made a deep impression on me, and all my further work was directly connected with them. After four years of study I managed to get to the final of the Saint Martins Press Show. This is a great honor, honored by the most talented students - I probably worried there by mistake. "
