Now open at The Wang Contemporary: Guest House: Welcome Home by Zhou Xuerong Thank you to the friends and supporters of the foundation who joined us at the opening reception. Ten life-size wax sculptures bring familiar icons from Western pop culture into the rituals of everyday Chinese life: sipping tea, practicing calligraphy, playing the erhu. The exhibition explores memory, identity, cultural exchange, and the space between the familiar and the uncanny. It's Guangdong-based artist Zhou Xuerong's first U.S. institutional presentation, and The Wang Contemporary's second exhibition since opening in Chinatown earlier this year. Founded by Ying and Alexander Wang, The Wang Contemporary exists to give Asian and Asian-American artists a real stage, and to make ambitious contemporary art free and open to all. On view Fridays–Sundays through September. Free admission, registration required: thewangcontemporary.org

ALEXANDER WANG AT THE MET GALA 2026   Alex Wang, Founder and Creative Director of alexanderwang llc., attended this year’s Met Gala in celebration of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibition, Costume Art, under the dress code Fashion Is Art.   Attending with supermodel Irina Shayk, Wang presented a custom look conceived as a wearable archive, drawing on Surrealist principles. Functional objects are recontextualised as fashion, with chains replacing seams and clasps replacing stitching. Watches anchor the body as both closure and focal point, while mixed jewelry forms a fluid, sculptural system that blurs the line between adornment and construction.

The series is unified by the Siren Mini Bag–compact, sharp and engineered with attitude–signaling the future of handbag icons alongside the creatives defining what’s next. A new class. A new icon. Shaping the future, together.

Introducing the Griphoria — alexanderwang llc.'s first-ever wearable 3D-printed stiletto. Six years in the making, the launch of Griphoria set a new benchmark in footwear innovation. Developed with HILOS and Carbon, it was engineered as a true product — not a prototype — built for durability, precision, and wear. We rethought the construction of the high heel, fusing multiple materials into a single, seamless silhouette — lightweight, structurally sound, and exacting in finish. Produced in hours, without molds or excess waste, Griphoria represents a fundamental shift in how footwear is designed and made. Enabled by Carbon’s advanced 3D printing technology, it delivers both technical performance and design precision at scale — setting a new standard for luxury footwear.

Women at Wang — an intimate conversation with members of our Executive Leadership Team.   We invited our NYC headquarters team to join an intimate panel designed to create space for open dialogue around leadership, career journeys, and the experiences shaping women in the fashion industry. Moderated by Arlene Cineas-Yemofio, SVP, Global Human Resources, the discussion featured Donatella Bordignon, Chief Financial Officer; Luisa Herrera-Garcia, Chief Officer, Product Development & Production Sourcing; Rachael Winston, Chief Merchandising Officer; and Anna Tolosa Irving, Chief Digital and Commercial Officer.   Each panelist shared personal perspectives, offering insight into growth, challenges, and the paths that led them to leadership.   Thank you to our panelists for their honesty and intention, and to our teams for engaging so thoughtfully.
