At this point, we’re not unused to seeing household knick-knacks be turned into It items by designers during Fashion Month. In London, Christopher Kane incorporated zip ties into his Spring 2016 collection, and Fyodor Golan decorated a see-through blouse with Post-It notes for Fall 2017. Now, at New York Fashion Week, Alexander Wang has found new use for all those novelty headbands you’ve accumulated over many New Year’s Eve parties but don’t know whether you should throw out or keep as a memento: just wear it out, with the confidence of a member of the #Wangsquad.

On Saturday night, models like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Binx Walton walked the street-turned-runway at Wang’s three guerrilla-style shows across downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn wearing feathery, tinseled headbands that look a whole lot like the ones sold in value packs every December 31. The only difference? They swapped the holiday-oriented slogans on the ‘bands for cheeky sayings like “Wangover,” “Party Animal,” “Secret Location,” and “After After Party.”

The headbands and slogans on them all fed into the designer’s theme for his Bushwick afterparty (the legendary #Wangfest—just look up the hashtag), which was set up like a music festival. Models were transported to and from the various runway locations via party bus, until finally walking down the Brooklyn street catwalk and into the after-party. Once inside, they were treated to a “lineup” of performances by ASAP Ferg, Cardi B, Ashanti, and Ja Rule, with several DJ sets in between.

But there was one vibe we were definitely picking up: what the models wore on the “runways”—a lot of ripped shoulders and bodices, disheveled blouses and dresses, and slips with stockings—plus the addition of the headbands and the festival-esque afterparty all felt like the tail end of a big night out like New Year’s Eve.

We get that big statement headbands aren’t necessarily the most wearable trend. But hey, crazier looks—think denim shorts with the ankles still attached—have been worn IRL, so why not a party headband?
