Alexander Wang has announced his sample sale dates. The wonder boy of fashion, the messiah of grunge, and the guy who coined the term “model-off-duty.” Was this the place for an always on duty fashion mom? I own a couple of Wang cashmere pieces from his earlier years and have traveled through 3rd world countries in Asia with his Donna Hobo. Nonetheless, girls with strategically torn, shredded, and destroyed Ts ($100?!) and metal studded bags will be lining up tomorrow starting at 9am. I decided—despite the fact that Wang does not target any where near my age group - I will go.Then I get a frantic text from Lisa—mind you, a day earlier than planned. “Are you there? Alexander Wang’s sample sale is going on now!?” What does this mean? I feel dizzy, disoriented, defeated and deflated. Then it suddenly dawns on me—duh this is fashion, and there are always “more privileged” people. Damn…private sale!
Knowing myself, I would’ve bought everything based on my hoarding tendencies. I will come up on top at the end. I will buy all the Wang I want at full price in the comfort of my living room without claw marks from 17 year olds.
