Fashion designer Alexander Wang will join the likes of Matthew Williamson and Gareth Pugh by expanding his label to include menswear in addition to womenswear. He plans to release the first menswear collection with Spring 2010.

As Wang explained, his women’s look has often had a definitive tomboyish slant. “It’s strange that so many designers are doing men’s now, but for us it’s a component that’s always been there,” said Wang, adding that men’s stores bought his line when he was merely a knit-designing babe.
