• In case you didn’t wait on line for an hour to get into Alexander Wang’s party at the gas station last night, here’s what you missed: Courtney Love performed! [Dazed Digital]

Richard Chai says his new, lower-priced line, Love, “is really about the girl who falls in love with the men I design for.” In other words, the girl who grabs her man’s shirt, rolls up the sleeves, and hits the town. Prices range from about $150 for a tee to $500 for a coat. [Heard on the Runway/WSJ]
