“NEW YORK’S NEXT FASHIONISTA - Now three years old, Alexander Wang’s niece Aila Wang has progressed from leather pinafore dresses, to the halterneck version, which she accessorised with Wintour-esque shades and a black Chanel bag. Oh Suri, you have much to learn.”

“I’m fascinated with packaging and how we preserve things,” he says with a laugh, acknowledging, “I always find inspiration in really crazy places.”

Starbucks celebrates their 40th birthday by profiting from these $85 t-shirts.

“Starbucks is celebrating their 40th birthday, and to commemorate they’ve asked Alexander Wang, Sophie Theallet, and Billy Reid, the recipients of the past three annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards, to design limited edition t-shirts for the brand. The tees are currently available at StarbucksStore.com and select Nordstrom locations for a very pricey $85. Do they not realize it’s a recession? We can’t even spend $85 on our close friends for their birthdays, so why would we give it to Starbucks for theirs?

All of the tees incorporate the company logos and Alexander Wang decided to do so with a coffee stain design that bleeds into the Starbucks Siren. Funny? Slightly. But we think the joke is on you if you spend $85 to wear a designer coffee stain that promotes Starbucks.

The other thing that makes us sad is that Starbucks tries to act like they did some great thing by selecting Vogue Fashion Fund award winners to make these t-shirts. The Vogue Fashion Fund gives annual grants to support emerging designers. But Alexander Wang is now a well established, successful designer and NONE of the proceeds of these expensive t-shirts go to anything other than Starbucks.

Well, Happy birthday, Starbucks, but consider our skim latte your birthday gift. Maybe we’ll even spill it on ourselves for free.” (yahoo news)
