“The shoes are named after models — Lara, Hanne, Racquel — but the bags are named after TV show characters. We have the Brenda and Kelly [90210], the Dorothy shopper [The Golden Girls] and the Trudy [Miami Vice]. They’re all the shows that used to be on TV when I was growing up.” —Alexander Wang to W on his most excellent pop culture influences.

The Dorothy! Can't you just picture it to be stylish and tall and sophisticated? I can!

As if I needed another reason to love Alexander Wang. Dorothy is perhaps the best TV character of all time.

"Most excellent" would be naming a bag the Bill & Ted. :p
Alexander Wang's forced retro-ness is really starting to bug the shit out of me. He's becoming another Marc Jacobs, a faux rebel selling commodified crap to the masses, patting himself on the back all the way.
