This photo by Tommy Ton made me change my mind about the Alexander Wang cat eye sunglasses. They looks so fun. Alexander Wang created these sunglasses in collaboration with Linda Farrow. Linda has done other collaborations with Raf Simons, Dries Van Noten and The Row to name a few. UPDATE (April 11, 2010): You can grab a pair of these sunglasses at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street images: oaknyc.com, style.com
Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2010 moves away from the casual sportswear to something more minimal. I like it. images: style.com

I can’t seem to get my mind off them though. I know they are all wrong, but they won’t stop haunting me. I wasn’t a fan of the Alexander Wang Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection in general but there were some great individual pieces. The rest was a trainwreck. image: style.com
I’m a really big fan of the Alexander Wang Expandable Shoulder Bag. I even loved the denim version. This picture is from the Holt Renfrew Fall 2009 – 2010 Womenswear Media Preview, where I got to see and touch the bag. You can purchase Alexander Wang handbags at Holt Renfrew and Reborn
There is nothing I love more than getting a sneak preview of anything fashion related. I was pretty pumped for the Holt Renfrew Fall 2009 – 2010 Womenswear Media preview. What new goodies did the buyers bring back for us interested fashion folk. Special bonus was an appearance by Joseph Altuzarra. He is being touted as the one to watch by many. His stuff is pretty hot, I have to admit. He was an intern at Marc Jacobs and freelanced for Proenza Schouler. Riccardo Tisci also recruited him to be a design assistant at Givenchy. His first collection was Spring 2008. He was absolutely adorable. How can you not love a guy whose primary muse is his Mom. The event was held in the 3rd floor Contemporary area. Select samples from the season where on display for everyone to get a look at. Barbara Atkin, Vice President, Fashion Direction for Holt Renfrew talked about their trend research for the season and the direction for buyers. She talked about the new economy. Less, but better the …
Alexander Wang Crop Top Sweatshirt The back of this sweatshirt is just fantastic. I’m not a big fan of the crop top look but it would make a great layering piece. Alexander Wang is found in Canada at Reborn, Holt Renfrew, Alice & Olivia and Misch.
One of my peeps at Saks sent me a link to this video they had made for the Alexander Wang Spring 2009 Collection at Saks.com. In this video, Alexander talks about the inspiration for the designs and a model stands there doing what she does best in said design. I find it really interesting as I love to know what the backstory to each piece is. I’m not one to watch a lot video but I think this works for the following reasons: it’s short and the designer is talking about pieces that are available at the retailer which allows it to be more focused and relevant. It gives the consumer more information about the collection and they now know what is available in the store/online shop.
I was browsing the Alexander Wang site for a video of the Spring 2009 collection. There were pictures of the collection but no video, so I decided to browse and found the accessories. I had to check out the shoes. I saw the video in February and the shoes looked insane. (The runway music is pretty kick ass in this show) The title of this post is pretty much link bait, but it’s actually true. These shoes are insane!!!!!
Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2009 Very pretty and wearable collection, however it didn’t grab me like Fall Winter 2008. Proenza Schouler Spring 2009 Didn’t change my mind about the collection too much, but props for using Skinny Puppy Alexander Wang Spring 2009 Everyone was peeing themselves over this collection in NYC Christian Dior Spring 2009 Alessandro Dell’Acqua Spring 2009 I didn’t do a dedicated post to this collection but I quite liked it. Gianfranco Ferre Spring 2009 Very luxurious clothing, as always. Viktor & Rolf Spring 2009 I include this only because the presentation is great. I really like the side views. The clothing on the other hand….
