Alexander Wang dives into high street with sport and scuba chic at H&M

Alexander Wang is the envy of the fashion industry for the credibility his name commands from high fashion to street style. It was a point neatly made in February last year, when Wang was namechecked in a Jay Z rap in the Justin Timberlake song Suit & Tie in the same month that he presented his first collection for the historic Paris fashion house of Balenciaga.

Wang is now the latest designer to create an H&M high street collection and at 30 years old becomes the youngest name on a list which boasts Karl Lagerfeld, Donatella Versace, Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Isabel Marant.
