Question: Of all of things that stood out in your mind from Alexander Wang’s fall show, were fuzzy beanies at the top of your list?
Yes. I, too, remember Abbey Lee and Rachel Clark marching down the runway in some sort of fitted knit hat with M.I.A. blaring in the background, but I didn’t think they looked like this; sort of corny and Kangol-esque looking.
Shopbop just added a ton of new Alexander Wang pieces to its site and all of them are drool worthy except for this. It stuck out to me like a sore thumb.
Nope, I’m not crazy. Style.com doesn’t feature any angora beanies in its Alexander Wang look book. So, I’m guessing there was a misunderstanding at the production factory? Or maybe his people realized no one was going to pay $150 for a cotton one and decided to use a more expensive fabric to qualify their heftier price tag? Oh, I don’t know.
But if anyone is looking into buying Wang this fall, I would go for the heather gray felt pea coat. It’s super cute and it’ll sufficiently keep you warm this winter, which is great when you’ll be rocking those ripped pantyhose along with it.

There were two beanies in his collection - the angora one (Siri is wearing it in the show and is on shopbop) and the knit one. I’m currently in the process of hunting down the knit one and it seems like stockists are referring to that beanie as the “knit hat”. It comes in heather grey too (Shannon Click is wearing the grey in the show).
