"Fashion offers no greater challenge than finding what works for night without looking like you are wearing a costume"
About this Quote
The subtext is a quiet warning about the thin line between glamour and disguise. “Costume” isn’t just sequins or theatrical silhouettes; it’s the moment an outfit announces effort louder than it communicates taste. Wang is flagging a familiar modern trap: when the “night look” becomes a performance of what we think nightlife demands - sexier, louder, more literal - rather than an extension of who we are. In that sense, she’s not arguing for minimalism so much as authenticity that can survive scrutiny.
Contextually, this sits neatly in Wang’s lane as a designer who built a career translating ceremony into modernity. Bridal and eveningwear are adjacent ecosystems: both invite pageantry, both punish false notes. Her point lands in a culture where Instagram aesthetics can turn every dinner into a themed shoot. The hardest part isn’t standing out at night; it’s doing it without turning yourself into a prop.
