Many were skeptical over the appointment of Alexander Wang as the Creative Director of Balenciaga. But the brand hushed its naysayers this week when it unveiled its stunning Spring/Summer 2015 collection in Paris. Featuring trademark cinched-in waists, smart tailoring and fuss-free styling, the collection takes classic Balenciaga pieces and gives them a modern makeover. A palette of black, white, navy, grey and blue give the collection an understated yet very classy feel. Wang’s decision to shun the prints and pastels we might usually associate with spring collections has proved very effective in creating a fresh, modern vibe. Highlights include an array of high-waisted city shorts, a stunning steel blue leather trench coat and a brilliantly tailored navy suit. With this Spring/Summer collection, Wang has well and truly proved cynical fashionistas that he was made for Balenciaga.
