Pete Davidson And Alexander Wang Had A ‘Hot Dog Thing’—And We Have Questions


Vogue’s YouTube channel is truly flourishing, which means many 73 Questions, more makeup tutorials, and, a personal favorite: day-in-the-life video diaries. The most entertaining of late comes via 17-year-old Alabama native Cara Taylor, who Vogue follows in the lead up to, during, and post the recent Alexander Wang show.

 

Even if you aren’t a fervent Wang disciple, you might remember the presentation for Pete Davidson’s runway debut—Taylor does too. In the video, she hides behind the curtains when she is introduced to Davidson for the first time (who references modeling tips from his friend, Machine Gun Kelly, and claims to be impressed by the fashion industry’s work ethic) and says she’s “scared.” After the show’s conclusion, the pair debrief, and Pete Davidson asks if the model will be attending to “the hot dog thing,” to which she replies a simple, “No.”

 
While there were reports of Wang-branded street food during the designer’s extravaganza, it’s unclear as to what part it played in the aftermath. Which is exactly why we need to unpack the “hot dog thing”—an event apparently so exclusive even one of Wang’s muses wasn’t in attendance, let alone aware of its existence. Incredible. Naturally, we have some questions.
