If you're in the market for a dress that will make you stand out, Chick Downtown's sale section is the place to turn to. Whitley Kros, Theory, and Karen Zambos are just some of the featured brands.

Personally, I'm doting for this 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Ruffle Mini Floral Dress ($206, originally $412) because it's feminine, but not in an obnoxious way; the black background and sheer sleeves lend a special touch.

Runway Retrospective: Alexander Wang

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:00:29 PST

Ever wonder how your favorite designers started? Fashion Week is almost upon us, so we're prepping with a study of some of the top American designers.

By now, the Wang girl is totally iconic; it's hard to imagine the world without Alexander Wang's vision of the downtown, edgy-cool chick. While urban street style existed before 2007, Alex Wang took it and refined it into something so insanely chic and wearable that every girl wants a piece, whether it's his slouchy denim, killer bags, or body-conscious dresses. Today, Alexander Wang is a global brand and one of the first places you look for something not so much sweet and pretty as utterly cool. Take a look back with this runway retrospective of Alexander Wang's relatively short - but unstoppable - career, and stay tuned for our full report on his upcoming Fall 2012 collection, taking place on February 11 during New York Fashion Week.
