>> Yesterday afternoon, Alexander Wang — in black hoodie, white t-shirt, jeans, and dirtied-up white sneakers — spent two hours taking pictures and chatting with fans at his Spring 2010 Barneys trunk show in New York.  Wang was Barneys' number one trunk show seller last season, according to his PR director Leslie Rubisch — the sales racked up during that period accounted for fifty percent of Barneys' total Alexander Wang delivery — sold, three months before it even hit the floor. Needless to say, he had some expectations to live up to this time around.  Vogue got the scoop on which three Spring 2010 pieces were the best-sellers yesterday, and we chatted with Alex for further details:

What's your favorite piece from the Spring 2010 collection?

Hmm, that's difficult. [Rubisch leans in: "I'm curious to hear what you're going to say!"] I feel like every day I change my mind. But I always seem to come back to Freja [Beha Erichsen]'s look, she really knows how to bring an outfit to life, which is so important in a model for me.

>> Alexander Wang Launches E-Commerce Wednesday — Alexander Wang has come a long way since his first fashion show, which he held at his brother's wedding: He's launching stateside e-commerce on Wednesday because he "love[s] the idea of shopping in bed." The selection will include his full bag line, shoes, and T by Alexander Wang exclusives — hopefully there will be plenty of stock, so it won't be a do-over of the scene at Opening Ceremony last season, when girls who missed out on Wang's shoes cried. [Style File, Opening Ceremony]

>> Pendleton for Opening Ceremony Lookbook Appears —Liberty of London has scored with a number of collaborations with retailers — including APC and Topshop — this season, and now another heritage label is jumping into the collabo game for the first time.  To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Pendleton is lending its Navajo prints to Opening Ceremony for a capsule collection.  The product appears in August — 15 men's pieces available in women's sizing, plus eight women's pieces, all in wool made in the US, and all available starting in August: Coutorture has a preview of the lookbook, styled by Alastair McKimm.

>> IN PRODUCTION —Chloe Sevigny says her Opening Ceremony range is just something to do “between jobs” to avoid being “totally idle,” but it seems that she has a knack for shoe design: "[Last time] the shoes did really really well. Originally we were just going to do menswear or unisex this season, but I thought we should do some girl’s shoes because I still see some of the editors wearing them." It seems Opening Ceremony agrees — they've placed the $625 buckle wedge boots from her Fall 2009 collection on pre-sale "due to popular demand" through this Wednesday — the rest of the collection hits at the end of August.

Agyness Deyn was photographed mid-smooch, confirming speculation that she has moved on from ex-fiance Albert Hammond, Jr. with Phantom Planet's Alex Greenwald and cementing her status as another British model with a thing for musicians.  

Henry Holland, in town to pal around with Agy and see the shows, spotted Hedi Slimane "wandering around with a camera in all black."  Yesterday morning, Slimane was still in town, scouting and taking breakfast at the newly-opened Ace Hotel in nearby Palm Springs.  Also going down at the Ace over the weekend, a New York Times fashion shoot with photographer Sebastian Kim, which must be for an upcoming T magazine.
