This morning I went by the Gap at 54th & 5th Ave for the in-store event of the launch of the Gap Design Editions Khakis Collection. Alexander Wang, Albertus Swanepoel and Vena Cava’s Lisa Maycock and Sophie Buhai were there to meet-and-greet their fans at the store. I got there about 10:45am so there wasn’t a crowd outside but there were a bunch of shoppers inside shopping the collection and talking to the designers. I wasn’t there to shop since I already ordered what I wanted at gap.com before I went. I went to do a report for you guys and of course meet Alexander Wang (again), he’s a sweetie, super cute! And from previous experience, Gap sizing runs big, I had to get an XS in the jackets! Did any of you guys buy anything from the collection? More pics after the jump…

i would have liked to see some of albertus’ hats…
@sara: woops forgot to take pics of those, but they’re available online you can peep it there.
very smart of you to get XS. the gap runs ludicrously large.
i ended up getting an XS in the long/blazer, a S in the moto, and 6′s in the two vena cava dresses. i ordered the blazers and the moto in both XS and S online just in case the stuff was gone by the time i got to the store, but now i guess i’m awash in alexander wangs! loves it!
So great that you got a picture with him! I just ran out and got the motorcycle jacket, they did not have an xs but I’m hoping the small will work – the fit is very boxy but I WILL make it work haha.
I got a XS in the long blazer b/c I felt that out of the two jackets, it had more a design element. I’m tired of the cropped moto jackets trend and I don’t really see Alex Wang when I see the moto jacket, meh to each their own. I really like both vena cava dresses a lot, but I got the zipper one b/c of the back design. I wish the neckline was lower, it would have been cute as a jumper too. The pants were not cute, I wish there was a cute skirt of some nature.
Great reporting, thanks for sharing! The Wangster is so adorable…
oh surely it’s a fruitful season for Alxander Wang. happy for him. he looks cute and a little shy in the ‘chatting up with him’ pic
also, love your outfit that day as well girl. so catch me^_^
The short sleeve Vena Cava dress runs ridiculously small. I tried the 0 on today and I had a hard time putting it on and taking it off. So for those who like that one buy a size larger than you normally wear.
i dont’ understand why people can’t order their own sizes, these jackets are suppose to have a loose slouchy fit, not FITTED!!
I agree…I don’t think these jackets are meant to be worn so fitted. Lemme know how’d they fit on you cuz I think I’m smaller than u… So don’t know what size to get yet
Did ayone try the shorts on? They look cute in the picture!
I’m happy you met the designers, your pics with them are awesome!
I bought the 2 jackets and the shorts and am intrigued by the pants! My coworker bought them and seems to love them. I like the long blazer better than the moto jacket, but the zipper on the blazer is a little tricky. The shorts are pretty comfy but flare out at the sides, though my friend said they look good from the back, so I was sold! The dresses ran a little small and since I’m not crazy about the design I passed on them.
I’m a huge fan of Vena Cava, and I believe Lisa’s last name is Mayock, not Maycock.
