If you missed out on Alexander Wang’s recent winter collaboration with Uniqlo, then you’re in for a treat. The designer is returning with a new summer edition, now his third iteration with the Japanese retailer. This time around, Alexander Wang will be utilising the brand’s AIRism fabric technology. His first collection consisted of simple yet sporty silhouettes in bright neons and cool greys, but with this summer refresh, the new collection will feature pastel pinks, minty greens, and creamy whites. The new line for men and women will include 15 pieces, think T-shirts, bodysuits, slips, and camisoles, and will be available in-store and online from April 11. [Fashionista]

It has been announced that Andrew Rosen will step down from his role as chief executive officer at Theory, the New York-based contemporary brand he co-founded in 1997 alongside Elie Tahari. Rosen will be succeeded by the brand’s current chief operating officer, Dinesh Tandon, but will continue to work with the business in an advising capacity. Since the founding of Theory, Rosen has cemented his status in the contemporary fashion market, selling his majority stake in the brand to Uniqlo’s parent company, Fast Retailing, in 2003. He then notably invested millions of dollars into emerging designers, including Rag & Bone and Proenza Schouler which, by 2012, gave Rosen a large portfolio of investments with a combined sales of US$300 million.
