The current “it” bag was instantly sold out on Shopbop and Net-A-Porter, and is now back in stock in 4 colors.

Alexander Wang must be a mind reader, because I’ve been meaning to add a striped nautical sweater to my wardrobe for quite some time! The chunky pearl knit sweater is accented with fringe-like stripes, putting a fun twist on the typical nautical sweater.

I’m in love with that Alexander Wang vest. Absolutely in love. Anyone know who this model is?

They might not be quite as enthralling as past seasons, but Alexander Wang’s Resort 2010 footwear collection still has me drooling a little bit! Carrying his distinct, protruding heel into the future, Wang has a pair of desert-boot oxfords, suede, gladiator heels and leather, riveted gladiators in store for us. The oxfords are a mere version of his leather oxfords out this season, but those gladiators, yeah, those need to be in my life and on my feet STAT.

Thanks Refinery 29!

The launch of GUCCI ICON-TEMPORARY, a flash sneaker store that will travel the world beginning in October 2009 with its first stop in
New York City on 43 Crosby Street. Frida Giannini has collaborated with Mark Ronson on a limited collection of sneakers.

It seems to me that Guido Palau was lacking inspiration when it came to hair-styling for the Spring 2010 shows. A braid is a pretty common hairstyle, but for Palau to style messy braids for both Alexander Wang and Miu Miu is pretty lazy. The only difference between the styles were the part placements, on the side for Wang and in the middle for Miu Miu. I like the look, don’t get me wrong, but is there more to Palau’s repertoire than braids?

In a new survey provided to Japanese retailers, Alexander Wang was named the ‘hottest’ international designer brand. He earned double the votes of the second-hottest international designer brand, Givenchy and Balmain.

This luxurious croc-print leather jacket from Alexander Wang, is THE perfect jacket style to showcase a frilly ruffle blouse…..the stud accents are the icing on the cake.

Ever since I saw Alexander Wang send leather biker shorts down his Fall 2009 runway, I’ve been dangerously obsessed. They might not be the Wang shorts, but Oak Black Label makes this cool pair for a fraction of the price! Totally loving the stitching details and the faux-leather paneling!

Any thoughts so far? Hearing Alexander Wang and Chado Ralph Rucci a lot…

A fellow blogger recently asked me who my favorite designer is, and having never given a straight laced answer to that question before, I spit out the words “Alexander Wang” like my mouth was on fire. The question “why?” followed, but need I explain myself? Wang knows his niche in the fashion world and keeping his downtown socialite consumer thrilled was his brilliant Spring 2010 collection. Wang seemingly branched off his recent collaboration with The Gap and added his own element of Americana to the aesthetic- football anyone? Letterman jackets, khaki dresses, grey sweatshirts, leather shorts- 1930s high-school football season is back and Wang certainly worked it. As per usual, the shoes were a sight for sore eyes and will assuredly land among the “it” shoes of next season. Maybe a bit more casual for our designing genius but oh, so fabulous!

Courtney Love gave an exclusive performance to a bunch of Alexander Wang groupies at Gas Station (the gas station under the highline at 14th). It was amazing.
