Merry-Go-Round
Alexander Wang's After-Party Amusement Park
Of all the things the Alexander Wang girl has done in tiny skirts and towering heels, bumper cars probably isn't one of them. Not until last night, at least, when the designer brought his leggy legions into a Chelsea parking lot that he'd turned into a fun fair, complete with merry-go-round, burgers, and abundant opportunities to win stuffed animals.
It was a step-right-up kind of evening, with much of the stepping being done by trained pros like Behati Prinsloo and Dree Hemingway. Wang took a turn or two under the carnival lights on stage, dancing with Agyness Deyn and launching bundles into the crowd with a T-shirt gun. Meanwhile, M.I.A., who'd been at the show earlier that day, was rumored to perform, but it was Rye Rye who ended up grabbing the mic after 2 a.m.
Back down at ground level, Wang explained that he'd wanted this season's post-show bash to be footloose as usual, but with more room to move. "Minus the sweat—you gotta mix it up a little," he said. Even so, he'd gotten a decent workout romping around in the bounce house: "I almost got my head cut off three times!"
