Fashion's latest It Child may only be 25 years old but this design-school dropout is mature beyond his years. In 2005, Wang had already started his own label and by 2009 he was recognized by his peers when he was announced as the winner of the CFDA Swarowski Women's Wear Designer of the Year.
At just 24, Alexander Wang already has hipsters and celebrities snapping up his cool and edgy designs. For his fall 2009 show, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner brought in Hooters catering, and chose the Roseland Ballroom for his venue.
