>> INSIDER WIRE —Alexander Wang found sweat stains to be an unexpected inspiration for his Spring 2009 collection. In a new video for Saks, he goes over the thought process behind a few more of his pieces, including one dress inspired by "wearing a big oversized white t-shirt, jumping into the ocean and having it wrap and drape around you" and another dress that came from the idea of "sleeping in these beautiful satin sheets and running out of the house with your satin sheets wrapped around you."
