Fresh off the presses: Alexander Wang was just announced as GQ's Best New Menswear Designer. Alexander is the fifth designer to receive this honor, but it's not just about bragging rights.
There's also some money. A lot of it—$50,000 to be exact, to be used toward his line. In addition, like all of the finalists, he will receive a mentorship with Docker's, Bloomingdale's, and the editors of GQ and will also design a piece for a limited-edition Docker's capsule collection, which will be sold in Bloomingdale's locations in the fall and be featured in our September 2011 issue.
One more resounding round of applause for all this year's finalists and thank you to guest American designer judge Tommy Hilfiger. Check back here soon for a priceless OH SHIT! moment caught on camera just now when creative director Jim Moore presented the winner with the check.
UPDATE: Video of Alex being presented his prize; "I feel like you guys have... popped my cherry!"
