A Guide to Getting Fired From Your Job at Alexander Wang

Only Alexander Wang could make the sad, steady decline of customer service laugh-out-loud funny.



Only Alexander Wang could make the sad, steady decline of customer service laugh-out-loud funny. For T's Spring 2013 campaign video, Wang hired Bon Qui Qui — the hilariously rude character created by Mad TV alumna Anjelah Johnson — to work in his New York flagship store.

Bon Qui Qui is best known for the skit in which she lambasts customers at a fast-food restaurant for making complicated orders. Is it any surprise that this time around, she tries to shove Alessandra Ambrosio's foot into a shoe two sizes too small, tells model Shannan Click she doesn't look good in baby blue, and ends up accusing Simon Doonan of grand theft handbag? A look at her antics on the first day of work, below.

While running errands in LA, Emily Blunt kept her cool in this T by Alexander Wang black-and-blue striped tank ($92), which she wore over another black tank and faded skinny jeans.

Emily's tank also comes in black-and-white stripes ($92), so pick your favorite, then work it into your everyday style. Then come night, tuck it into a black leather skirt or shorts for a dramatic look. Want more options? Peruse other T by Alexander Wang tanks on ShopStyle.
