Alexander Wang filled his T pre-fall collection with the kind of signature pieces that his devoted downtown chicks will scoop up by the armful. And with every item priced under $260, liberal layering (as demonstrated by the Alastair McKimm-styled lookbook) is encouraged and doable. Just ask the lucky Alex Wang employee who swears she has an entire dresser bursting with the stuff.
Naturally, T was full of tees, in neutral shades like bisque, heather gray, cocoa, and, of course, black. What sets this line apart is the designer s inventive approach. For example, he has perfected a silk-rayon that pills so the shirt looks and feels like you ve had it for years. A sweatshirt of quilted terry—it almost looked like a mattress pad, but a cool one, trust us—will ruche more and more with each wash. There were also silk maxi slipdresses and skirts—the T take on eveningwear. Just toss on a hoodie to muss it up a bit.
