It wasn't exactly Crazy Horse but then again, Alexander Wang has said au revoir to Balenciaga and Paris and fully re-committed himself to his namesake brand and New York City. That said, there were plenty of the same decadent strip-club vibes -- but NYC-style -- at Wang's gigantic 10-year anniversary and NYFW after party last night, which was held at Pier 94, the same venue as his show and, incidentally, a stone's throw from other West Side Highway gentlemen's establishments like Larry Flynt's Hustler's Club. The bash had some partnership with Hooter's who provided snacks, and there were dancers working the pole all night. In someone else's hands, this might have felt icky but under Alexander Wang and his team's vision, the dancers seemed empowered up there -- dressed in what we assume were athletic-wear pieces designed by Wang (like sports bras and spandex shorts), there were no nipples or g-strings in sight and instead the focus was on the women's ripped abs and their impressive strength, which called to mind an olympic gymnast rather than your average working girl in the club. And, in many instances, the 'Hooter girls' passing out buffalo chicken bites and sliders were replaced by hunky 'Hooters guys' for the night. But before we could forget the theme, there were loads of "$10 bills" -- a nod to Wang's 10-year anniversary -- emblazoned with the designer's face to remind us that we were, after all, in Alexander Wang strip club-land.
As has become tradition at Alexander Wang's NYFW after parties, there was a series of impressive performances -- clearly the team spared no expense to celebrate the milestone -- that included sets by Tinashe, A$AP Ferg, Lil Wayne (Tunechi!!) and Ludacris, who capped the night and left everyone singing "how low can you go" and "face down ass up" all the way home. Take a look at pics by BFA, below.
