Alexander Wang lightens up his accessories for spring

Fashion’s wunderkind Alexander Wang has released images of his Spring 2011 accessories collection and much like his recent ready-to-wear collection, which the designer called “optimistic” and “pure,” the accessories line is a light and airy departure from his usually dark colour palette.

Past Wang best-sellers like the Rocco tote, the Diego bucket bag and the Freja open-toe booties received an update, courtesy rose gold hardware and pastel pebbled leather.

Standout pieces include an edgy satchel with multiple straps, ladylike frame bags and slouchy totes with studded bottoms. And for those who fear pastels, there are plenty of black pieces to round out your urban uniform.
