Alexander Wang's website debuted its new look today, its first major redesign since launching in July 2011.
"We started e-commerce before we had our first retail store," Wang said. "It was one of our first big ventures as a brand."Wang went on to describe the new site as minimal, engaging, functional and easy to navigate. "You're able to browse and shop and not lose track of where you started and where you want to end up. That was our main goal," he said.
The brand's other digital platforms include Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Wang wants to create an interconnected space where each platform has specialized content. And while Instagram is his favorite social medium personally - "I have a personal one that I share with my friends and it has like 20 followers," Wang said.
