RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Fashion Week: Balenciaga A/W 2013

Alexander Wang's OUTSTANDING Debut for the House of Balenciaga:

Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2013/2014

The Look: Alexander Wang's debut collection for Balenciaga was a moment. A Fashion Moment. It was much anticipated by all the Fashion Cognoscenti. Last July, it was all about Raf Simons and his first Dior Couture show, and now it's Wang's time. The NY boy "done did good", according to many who were there, including the NY Times' Cathy Horyn. She said "Balenciaga is in good hands." And I agree.

Rumors in the French capital were that of "Mon Dieu! How could they let a New Yorker actually design for the famed French House...". But he conquered. The collection was sublime, ultra chic, modern. Wang went into the Balenciaga archives and payed homage to the Master's shapes, volume and proportions. It was beautiful.
