One thing I really like about Alexander Wang as a designer is that his collections are very small. His accessories collection is particularly small, consisting of only a few bags, but he gets every last one of them spot on perfect. What Wang lacks in quantity, he more than makes up for in quality.
The Max shoulder bag is one I am particularly lusting over because, well, do you see how many freaking pockets it has? I love that. Not only are all those pockets exceedingly practical, but they give the bag a fabulous, edgy vibe. I really like that the zippers are all burnished gold, instead of the shiny silver you would expect. It lends the Max an air of understatement.
The oversized fanny pack style is really interesting as a design concept, since towards the end of the fanny pack craze everyone was carrying them over their shoulders, anyways, it really makes intuitive sense. Plus, it gives the bag a tongue-in-cheeky sense of humor. Wang took something widely regarded as a major fashion mishap – the fanny pack – and made it the epitome of style. Of course, they were coming back, anyway, but Wang is really making a point of pushing the fanny pack to the forefront of fashion!
The buckle fastening shoulder strap is adjustable, so you can make it fit right in the nook of your waist, or if you’re feeling nostalgic, you could even hang it on your hips for an oversized 80’s look. Regardless of how you customize the Max, it’s got “Fall IT bag” written all over it.
