Alexander Wang’s Biker Shorts Cost $395

Alexander Wang’s fall stuff just hit Shopbop.com. The biker shorts paired with numerous looks in the fall 2009 show cost $395 and are one of Shopbop’s Editors’ Picks. Cheap JAP reacts: “When first I saw the price on Wang’s Pseudopants, I assumed they were made from leather, snakeskin, or the tusks of a rare, near-extinct breed of rhinoceri. That wouldn’t excuse paying the $395 pricetag, but at least it’d explain the ludicrous cost … If I’m paying upwards of $400 for SHORTS, that shit better be drenched in diamond dust a la Madonna’s eyelashes. Not made out of fucking rayon and spandex.” [Cheap JAP]
