T by Alexander Wang in T-Minus Two Weeks

Thu, 01/15/09 — 04:21:55 PM

>> Alexander Wang may be skipping his legendary fashion show after-party this February, but he's got a more democratic treat in store instead: the T by Alexander Wang line he promised back in August, just as described.  “Necklines are stretched and armholes are strategically lowered so that it looks worn in.  It’s like sleeping in a T-shirt and then wearing it the next day. It’s not this crisp little T out of the dryer. It’s draped and kind of wilted."  The twelve styles of dresses, tops, and tanks are a third of the price of his mainline — think dresses for around $85, tees around $75.  Stock hits stores by the end of the month, and Saks already has some pieces available for pre-order.

I love Alexander Wang as much as the next girl but $75 for a stretched out t-shirt? In this economy? Come on, and with Saks just announcing they've cut over 1,000 jobs, the fashion world needs to wake up.
(Plus is it just me or could that be a Hanes ad?)

I've no clue what makes Alexander Wang so special.

The fashion world and their followers needs to wake up since quite some time. The last decade the price-tags have been insane. Its very sad to read about the lost of 1,000 jobs.

Yes, it looks a lot like a Hanes ad.

I love me some Alexander Wang as much as the next person, but I'm not feeling these price points. Maybe he'll hook-up with Target one day like the Proenza boys.

I actually tried to buy the black mini-pocket tee at lagarconne.com but it was sold out already. There's one on ebay but do I really want to pay the difference between that and a gap t? Sadly the answer is, yes. There's something really special about them and I guess they're still not so expensive as mainline Wang...
