Achievement
After moving on from his role as creative director at Balenciaga in 2015, Alexander Wang has used 2017 to leave behind his role as CEO of his eponymous label and produce some of the best collaborative collections in adidas Originals' storied line. Having spent most of the past 12 months working on products for his work with the aforementioned sportswear giant, the 33-year-old has helped ensure adidas' spot with the sportswear giants and kept the brand's style on the cutting edge of streetwear and fashion in general. From sneakers to hoodies, every recent Wang and adidas Original creation has flew off the shelves and become an instant fan-favorite. Expect Alexander Wang to push adidas Originals even closer to the top spot of the company's market in the coming year.
