"Alexander Wang has an eye for models. The CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award winning wunderkind is always surrounded by the hottest, edgiest girls. (Trust me, I've seen him.) You'd expect nothing less than the freshest girl in his first ad campaign.

Welcome 18 year old Hannah Holman. Plucked from Utah obscurity (town of 155) from the local shopping mall, the pouty blonde was signed to Elite in 2008. She was the go-to girl for all American style, starring in American Eagle and Urban Outfitters campaigns.

A year passes, and right when it seemed like her career had stalled, Miuccia Prada points her fairy godmother wand--and despite being quite diminutive (rumor is, under 5'8")--and re-debuts Hannah in high fashion, having her close the Prada resort show. For fall 2009, Hannah opened the Miu Miu show and starred in the ad campaign.

"Hannah Holman is a model reminiscent of a young Emma Balfour—ultimately charming, feverishly cool, and wise beyond her years."
- Anita Bitton, casting and creative director of Establishment

Now every fashion house wants Hannah. She's graced the runways for Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Fendi. For spring 2010, she is starring in Burberry Blue, Jill Stuart, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Alexander Wang ad campaigns.

When asked, this “unflappable, kind-hearted blonde" who plays the violin and loves to bake offers this advice for success. She quotes Bertrand Russell: “The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms. The really important things are not houses and land, stocks and bonds, automobiles and real estate, but friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love, and faith.”

Alexander Wang has proven he’s a street-chic kind of guy. Now, the CFDA Award winner will be taking that vision to the streets — literally. On Monday, he will launch his first ad campaign with promotional posters, photographed by Dan Jackson and featuring model Hannah Holman, plastered all over downtown Manhattan. The agenda? To celebrate Wang’s spring T collection, which hits his e-commerce site that day. “The [images] were originally only supposed to be posters we were going to send to editors and stores,” said Wang. “But I felt the energy was much more appropriate for something like guerrilla marketing than anything too proper or formal. Because T is really the core foundation of what Alexander Wang stands for, I thought it should be something that could be much more democratic.” The designer hired National Promotions & Advertising, the agency responsible for those ubiquitous Apple iPod posters, to blanket the intersections of Third Avenue and 12th Street and Grand and Crosby, as well as random hot spots throughout the East Village and Lower East Side. The ads will be replenished once a week for four weeks. As for whether the campaign will break in other cities, Wang said, “if it becomes something people really respond to, but right now New York City is where it’s at. This is our home.”

Alexander Wang launches his first advertising campaign for his label’s T collection, available online February 1, 2010. Starring Pulse Mgmt's Hannah Holman shot by Daniel Jackson, the black and white images show the American beauty tugging on a cut-out t-shirt from the line.
