At Barneys successful (and fun) Trunk-a-palooza a couple of months ago, Alexander Wang set up his own tent on the seventh floor and spent just as much time selling his fall collection as he did meeting fans.
This week, he dragged the tent up north to Canada's Barneys equivalent — Holt Renfrew — and greeted a whole new set of fans, girls who asked him to sign Chloé sunglasses and a group of three with just one gum wrapper. So naturally, they split it into three and he happily signed each piece.
While that's kind of like asking Cameron Diaz to autograph a picture of Drew Barrymore, Wang's gotten just as far from being nice as he has from being a great designer. But here's a tip, next time you buy a piece from T (which given its stellar fall outing will probably be soon) stick the tag in your wallet just in case you run into him next time you're downtown.
