Alexander Wang Delivered on His Promise To Turn the Neighborhood into #Wangfest

Alexander Wang’s big fashion week show was not held in a Bushwick warehouse after all. Instead, the designer brought his chic designs directly to the street last Saturday night!

The edgy, young designer with an a-list entourage announced last week that he would bring his unmistakable brand of design mixed with pageantry to a secret location in Bushwick. Of course, it didn’t take long for some internet sleuths to figure out that Scott Avenue, the dead end street next to Honey’s and Bunker in East Williamsburg, would fit the bill perfectly.

Models like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Suki Waterhouse arrived on a party bus and wore plastic crowns adorned with words like “Party Animal” and “Wangover” as they stalked the makeshift runways.

Th runway show featured lace, fishnets, and simple dresses in blacks and nudes, calling to mind the minimalism of the 90’s while playing with the deconstruction of classic silhouettes to the point where it was sometimes hard to tell whether an item was jacket or skirt or dress or blazer.



The afterparty, too, did not disappoint with performances from JaRule, Ashanti, Cardi B, A$AP Ferg, and Vince Staples inside of one of the nearby warehouses complete with special black grilled cheese sandwiches.

And to top it all off, it looks like the extended Jenner and Kardashian clan was there to cheer on little sister Kendall along with a camera crew. Hope some of you make it into an episode of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” next season!
