Cintra Wilson Bought Another Alexander Wang T-Shirt, Is Mildly Embarrassed About It

Cintra Wilson gave a rave review of the new Alexander Wang store in Soho in today’s Times, which comes as no surprise considering her weakness for Wang’s T-shirts. While reviewing the Opening Ceremony store in August, she confessed to purchasing one: “I know what you’ll think, and you’re right: an $89 T-shirt is a crime against humanity … But it was so soft, it was making my brain flood with dopamine, like a security blanket.” Her experience in Wang’s boutique is similar: “An $80 black rayon T-shirt should be a grotesque plutocratic sin. But when you put on one of Mr. Wang’s, you realize: oh. This would be equally appropriate for work, bowling, lawn darts, gnocchi fights … and it drapes well enough to be worn as rebellious evening wear. It connects dots you hadn’t imagined were connectible before.” [NYT]
