I recognized him once he was in a corner store where his old canal street studio was at the time. I was wearing a men’s balenciaga Messenger bag ( he was creative director of balenciaga at the time.) We both gave each other a glance as went on our way. Lol
Alonso Martii He loved doing drag before he was famous. I followed someone on Facebook who was a close friend of his and posted tons of pictures of him in drag. This was years ago though.
I worked right by that restaurant across the street at a coffee shop and it is always a wait. People would get coffee while they waited. Its a famous restaurant.
@@maggiechang9956 I agree. I spent 3 months in China doing research. Mainland Chinese people order huge quantities and then just take a taste of each morsel...and then leave it all behind. At least the people who are middle class and up. It was so freaky to see that at all the restaurants. Asians in the USA, though, tend to order large quantities and take it To Go. Whenever my family got together, they'd go to the big Chinese Seafood Palace and order ten huge platters. Then, whatever was not finished went to me...because I was the poor, starving student.
Chi Ting Chang Me too. The Wikipedia says specifically “... not speak Mandarin Chinese”, but here he speaks it so well and so naturally. This really adds to his likability by a lot of my friends and me. In fact, we don’t think the other American clothes designer Jason Wu can speak Mandarin Chinese as well as Alexander Wang - probably the only Chinese dialect that Wu can utter is Taiwanese, whereas Alexander Wang’s family came from Taiwan as well. (Jason Wu put me off because there’s too much hype about him, even in Taiwan; he was pushed into fame by Michelle Obama, whom he dressed many times, and to whom he for business advantage/publicity gave first a brown sequin cocktail dress, which months after he gave to the then 1st Lady of Taiwan, yet Taiwan was all so excited and proud of it, especially because Michelle Obama already wore it months earlier, knowing full well and ever so content to be always at best the Second Banana to everything U.S. - just the stereotypical Inferiority-Complex psychology and behaviour of Taiwan... Alexander Wang is NOT like that.)
jian chen I like that he embrace his Chinese heritage. I encountered so many ABCs who tried so hard to ignore the Chinese part of themselves and that makes me sad
We need to see more videos capturing Alex's personal style. How is he so chic with only a T on? How does he keep his T's perfectly ironed? We need to know his tricks!
Accesorise. Its also the golden chains n watch n stuff that makes it more than just a basic. Its simplicity comhines with class that makes it look like that. Subconciously you know gold has value n therefor he doesnt look cheap, n due to acessorising he doesnt look basic. Also just keep your clothes nice n clean. Personally i hang my clothes in the bathroom near the shower n put it hot n close the doors while i shower. Then the steam removes the wrinkles n i save time by not ironing.
everyone expects fashion designers to be so stuck up nd BOUJIE however Alexander is just pure, you literally want to jump into the screen and spend the day with him. Most famous people/youtubers/influencers make you feel poor or in need of accommodating to their status in terms of self-expression but this is oof. Much loveeee
Based on my personal experience many people don’t know much about fashion. For example my classmates could see Karl Langerfiel and maybe 2 would recognize him(probably one or nobody except me). I live in Italy. -Maybe they would recognize Donatella Versace.
I went to Taiwan this year and I loved the food. Taiwanese people had the gentlest hearts. I wonder what Alex's favourite dish was that his grandma used to make.
This is the first vlog I have seen from him and let me just say I WAS NOT expecting his personality to be like this. I always expected all these high fashion designers to be stuck up, or at lease “cold” and probably wearing shades indoor in crazy expensive designer outfits. Lol I love him
Wow! He's literally shining! ❣ I literally love this channel coz this person is so much fun to watch!! I love how authentic and beautiful person he is!
Alex is so cute, I just wanna be his best friend. He is one of my favorite designers, not only because of the amazing pieces he puts out but because of how humble, sweet, and passionate he is.
my first pair of designer shoes was alexander wang and i can confirm his personality matches with the vibe im in when i have them on. favorite shoes of all time !! such a mood
The Taiwanese restaurant @4:04 in Elmhurst is the besttt & the lady @5:30 is the sweetest, my parents love her, she treat’s everyone like family/friends
Watching Alex is relaxing and inspiring! The crazy thing is I haven't really "checked in" on the fashion world in forever but I remembered how into his designs I used to be back when I was a fashion-head, ran a quick google search, and am still totally vibing with the aesthetic and arrived just in time for these vlogs apparently?! 1000% here for how he doggedly found his way back to his Asian food roots after boarding school and even enjoys super "adventurous" dishes. WE STAN A KING!
I’m a Taiwanese and it’s so nice to hear Alex speaking Mandarin🥰 He’s so cute and relax in this video, I can feel his happy energy❤️ This video really made my day, Thank you🙏
I never saw him talk but he have fun personality and committed to boba. That's like best thing ever! Omg please hang out with me lol let's get dim sum for brunch
I absolutely love this video. Please keep creating more of these eating Asian food with Alex videos... love seeing this side of him!!! So entertaining and love seeing all the delicious chinese food he introduces to his friends.
He seems so humble and he’s so damn fun and it’s just so cool to see that he is so free like a bird in the city and no one knows him like when he was at the bubble tea store they didn’t give fuck about him which is kinda good
Thank you for such positive vibes and bubbly personality.. After a long day with 2 kids under 3 watching your vids has given me strength.... and can I just like give a shout out to ur amazing skin like seriously!!🥰
can’t believe he’s a fashion designer, doesn’t seem selfish, mean, cocky, or flashy omg i wanna be friends with him
Destiny me too he is so sweet
Me too! And hes ones of those friends who knows what to order at restaurants 😂
Destiny he seems dope af
Blabla honestly
He just seems like a flaming homosexual
I think its kinda cool to not be recognized. He seems so happy just being free in the city.
I recognized him once he was in a corner store where his old canal street studio was at the time. I was wearing a men’s balenciaga Messenger bag ( he was creative director of balenciaga at the time.)
We both gave each other a glance as went on our way. Lol
@@Cardsmaster 👏🏽 thats how u do it
he looks like a chick who'd think is a man name Alex Wang
Alonso Martii He loved doing drag before he was famous. I followed someone on Facebook who was a close friend of his and posted tons of pictures of him in drag. This was years ago though.
@I like Potatoes alexander wang
I want to be friends with him so bad lol, he seems like so much fun!

He is just so real. I love it.
Itzel Macias I know right! He is hilarious!
Itzel Macias sameeeee
Itzel Macias super aggreeeee!
I never knew this was his personality lolll he’s super fun lolll I love these type of candid vlogs :)
I always thought he was kind of stiff and serious. This was awesome!
World famous gay Asian fashion designer. lol it's guaranteed he'll have the best personality
Leenda I love your videos! I am somehow imagining Alexander Wang suddenly jumps in one of your future videos :) ♡
LeendaDProductions I am surprised too! he is so much fun to watch!
He’s also a predator! Look it up x
The fact that he was on a waitlist for the Japanese restaurant
I worked right by that restaurant across the street at a coffee shop and it is always a wait. People would get coffee while they waited. Its a famous restaurant.
it's NY. People dont give a crap who you are.
@@alisat7859 Fair enough. I wouldn't know, never been
what is the name of that japanese restaurant? i need to visit ASAP
Liam Lee OKONOMI, in E Williamsburg
“I had them cater fashion week once” lmfaooo yas
Its nice to see that someone as famous and successful as Alex does not waste his food!
hellopuppy00 asians never waste food
It's Viki linda Not the China Chinese. They are now on the black list of wasting food
Maggie Chang why would you say that
@@maggiechang9956 You are being hilarious

“One of my white friends tapped out “ 😭😂
Katstacked8 the “in memoriam” 💀
the staff ignoring you is too real lmao.
and he doesn't even give af. lol
im chinese and we know chinese restaurants just want people to eat fast and gtfo 😂
I want to be that staff lols
Been to that place a few times, too. The service is really kinda rough, though the food is good.
He speaks mandarin pretty well. He should be proud of it.
jian chen I was pleasantly surprised!
Best part about the video, aside from the food :)
Agreed. I read on the internet that he doesn't speak Mandarin, but actually he's very fluent!

"extra gluten....that's actually my diet".... Talented and witty and likes his friends.
Alex coming through with his mandarin skills
QueensMisery haha 😆
His skin is so clear and dewy........
And glowing . I want skincare products and what hair products he using .so shiny.
Thats the advantage of being asian all asians have smoother skins
@@jasonicgamer1683 Not all Asians pal.
KarmaGunz What do you mean are you an asian？
@@jasonicgamer1683 Yes I am.
the fact that his phone has cracks
Watching this after the sex scandal is making me think that we can never judge a book by its cover.
So true:( im so sad finding this stuff out I digged him
You mean rape scandal?
What I've realized is that all successful men in creative fields are shady af. At this point I'm not surprised, I just assume they're all predators
Were they ever verified or taken to court?
I don't why, but I found his laugh to be a little villainous like in the movies
Alexander wang uses yelp too! Whoever says yelp is for peasants that’s a slap on ur face right there
Susanna Sun who has said thatt?
nobody has ever said yelp is for peasants LOL thats snobby/foodie peoples favorite app
John new yorkers😬
My my my aren’t you just the cutest ray of sunshine
We need to see more videos capturing Alex's personal style. How is he so chic with only a T on? How does he keep his T's perfectly ironed? We need to know his tricks!
haha yesss!
The trick is that his clothes are probably super expensive and made of fabrics that just flow perfectly on your body and don’t wrinkle lol

Ok when are you coming out with your skincare routine?!

LOL at this comment after all the sexual allegations eeep
@rat mcard lmaoo
You have poor judge of character
@@Unknownplsyer and u dont?
most of these comments didn't age well
"i rly just don't like tofu" omg my heart literally stoped when i heard that
and bubble tea for life!!
Alex can i be your food-buddy ,coz u r AMAZING
Can’t believe you were not recognized in the city. Uncanny
Probably was but when celebs go out on a regular basis it's just like seeing a neighbor.
Mysasser1 nope. It’s not that common to see celebrities in Manhattan.
Avantt 007 lmao I’ve been living in downtown Manhattan (fidi) for 5 years. Have never seen one celeb randomly walking on the street.
Avantt 007 don’t know where you see celebrities in the city. do you live/work in a club or something?
Based on my personal experience many people don’t know much about fashion.
For example my classmates could see Karl Langerfiel and maybe 2 would recognize him(probably one or nobody except me). I live in Italy.
-Maybe they would recognize Donatella Versace.
God Bless to his metabolism. Wish I had it.
He’s ridiculously pretty and good looking at the same time, I’m conflicted
He also has a great personality too like imagine that lol
I went to Taiwan this year and I loved the food. Taiwanese people had the gentlest hearts. I wonder what Alex's favourite dish was that his grandma used to make.
SSS my guess is if you search “油飯”, you know what he is talking about what his grandmom made that was extra gluten
This is the first vlog I have seen from him and let me just say I WAS NOT expecting his personality to be like this. I always expected all these high fashion designers to be stuck up, or at lease “cold” and probably wearing shades indoor in crazy expensive designer outfits. Lol I love him
*UNDERATEDDDDD!!!!!!!* For now Alex’s Channel is a true gem for us real ones who know what’s up👌🏽💎
I’m so mad that his TH-cam channel is so underrated but love him ❤️❤️🤣
Ashley its true, its fantastic
Literally! This channel is great but still underrated!
I can't believe this is literally one of the biggest fashion designers, he's so chill and casual i love it haha
He’s so sweet and humble and handsome 😢
Make we feel like we have to protect him
He's needs to go to jail
@@rosalina5936 👏
Still want to protect him now?

I was admiring his skin too it's glowing
Alex is more entertaining then the MAJORITY of the vloggers on TH-cam.
Plus you look like Skrillex when you dance.
You need more asian friends your white friends barely scratched any of the food smghhhh
He hates his own race.
You should probably stop writing English on a computer with the internet since it's all White
Mike Luangrath lmao
lotto yea thats why he speaks his language and eats his cultures food
How come he eats his traditional food and proudly speaks Mandarin
The presence of a true icon the charisma of a tURE iconic he’s literally a humble king.
So endearing to hear him speak Chinese. I would totally eat everything on that table.
How the mighty fall, I believe Azealia.
Yup
Disappointed but not suprised.
You sound like a dumb bitch
Alexander's forehead is brighter than my future. He seems so down to earth. His laughter is so uplifting !!!♡♡♡
Alex is so cute, I just wanna be his best friend. He is one of my favorite designers, not only because of the amazing pieces he puts out but because of how humble, sweet, and passionate he is.
