That was then. This is now\u2013 and Williams has backed up his cool with consistency, 4 collections worth, including resort. That\u2019s not to say Alyx hasn\u2019t evolved\u2013it has, we\u2019ll get to that\u2013but Alyx very much knew who it was from its West Coast conception: The rebellious child who turned defiant subculture dress codes into a genre-bending identity all their own. Motocross inspired getups, rollercoaster belts, ass-less chaps, leather lots of leather and streetwear staples. <\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:55.23148148148148% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BUsGjC0jbdk\/\" style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none;\" target=\"_blank\">A post shared by ALYX (@alyxstudio)<\/a> on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2017-05-29T20:07:55+00:00\">May 29, 2017 at 1:07pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/center>\n<\/div>\n<p>Between S\/S 17 and F\/W 17, the Alyx woman has been adding to her arsenal, \u201cShe added some suiting, some shearling coats and leather accessories,\u201d says the New York-based Williams, nodding to Berlin\u2019s underground this time, borrowing heavily from officer fatigues. &#8220;Alyx is a nuclear child,&#8221; Williams avows as to his brands role in the fashion conversation. Does that mean Alyx, named after his daughter, is Williams&#8217; flesh and blood? Or maybe it means something more incendiary. Likely both, just like a child Alyx can be temperamental and it owns that feeling of immediacy, which can stir up a thrill. &#8220;Alyx is a personal monologue,&#8221; he says\u2013one thing that hasn&#8217;t changed, even under pressure from an ever-quickening industry. He boils it down to: \u201cMake better stuff, don\u2019t make more stuff.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><!--pp-thumb-start--><!--PictPress found no dir \/2017\/06\/94745--><!--pp-thumb-end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The designer continues his personal monologue into F\/W 17 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":443,"featured_media":94758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10527,8594],"tags":[10839],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94745"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/443"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94745"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95691,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94745\/revisions\/95691"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
