THE ESSENTIALS

Alexander Wang, designer

1. Ling Clearlight moisturizer
I use it day and night and it’s a miracle worker.
2. Aveda lavender conditioner
I use it every other day instead of shampoo as it has cleansing
components without stripping the hair. It also keeps my hair from
frizzing up and looking too “bouncy”.
3. Black Nike Dry-Fit ankle socks
They cut perfectly right below the ankle and is made of
a plush terry so they don’t wear down very easily and adds
extra cushion inside your shoes.
4. iPod
I don’t think I need to explain why this is a necessity for everyone!
5. Flowers from Miho
Anything I get from them always lasts so long. I love their arrangements
because they’re simple and not over the top, but they also have the rarest flowers
out of anyone in NYC.
6. Nha Trang
The best Vietnamese food in NYC and it’s only a block away
from work, so I go there at least 2-3 times a week. I’m definitely one
to prefer cheap eats over fancy meals.
7. Vita coconut juice
It is so refreshing when I want something more than just water.
8. Bliss minty soap bar
It has exfoliant in it, so it leaves your skin tingling after every use.
Really good in the summer.
9. Shazam
The best application ever. I am constantly using it whenever I hear
a song I don’t know. Two songs from it have already ended up in my shows.
10. Blackberry
I cannot live without it! It’s where I write all my inspiration
down when I don’t have a pen and paper.
