Alexander Wang Samples Sale Review 12/16

0
16 December 2010

Attention shoppers: if you go to the winter bi-annual Alexander Wang sample sale, be sure to attend armed with patience, your very warmest winter layers, and a hot beverage. The line is long — Nile River-long. This shopper arrived at 10:30 on Thursday morning and stood outside for an hour and a half before finally getting in.

That said, for the dedicated fashionista or the Alexander Wang super-fan, what’s inside is well worth the wait. For one thing, the selection is sizable, but more importantly, the discounts are substantial. All dresses were $160 (down from $895), including a lovely ivory hammered silk dress, with a drop-waist, bold black band at the hip, and pointy little collar. Also to be found in the dresses: myriad perfect little LBDs to fit almost any occasion, like a one-shouldered asymmetrical dress with graceful draping, or the variety of menswear-inspired numbers with tuxedo detailing. Cozy sweaters were also there in abundance, with several racks of plush pullovers in neutral tones selling for $150 (from $895), as well as nubby coats and cloaks in black and warm caramel tones ($300, instead of $1,100). Even more frugal attendees can find something to their liking at this sale, as bins of T by Alexander Wang jersey shirts and assorted accessories ($45) lined the spaces between racks. By time we got in around noon, most of the shoes ($220) and bags ($350) were already sold out, so if accessories are your main draw, try to be there early. Luckily for those who didn’t make it today, the sale will be restocked every day.

When it comes down to it, this is really a sale for the truly serious. If you already know and love Alexander Wang and are sure to buy something, go. If you are merely curious, save your inquisitiveness for a warmer day, or a shorter line. When we left 93 Mercer Street, the line hadn’t shrunk one single bit and it was just as cold as ever

WHEN: 12/16 – 12/19, Th-Sat (10-7), Sun (10-2).

WHERE: 93 Mercer St. (between Broome & Spring St.)
