Stop

...holding your breath, zato što Alexander Wang ne ide nikuda - pokazao je da mu hodanje u (zahtevnim) cipelama Cristóbala Balenciage i te kako ide od ruke. Podrazumevamo, nekako, da će prva kolekcija biti fenomenalna, jer su tada sve oči i reflektori uprti u vas i greški nema mesta, ali druga, to je ono gde dokazujete da li posedujete to nešto. Oslanjajući se na Balenciaga nasleđe kroz zatalasanu tektoniku i eklektične detalje, a svoje umeće monohromatske raskoši, Wang nam predstavlja remek-dela dostojna starog španskog majstora mode. Taman kada smo pomislili nikada ništa nećemo obožavati kao Ghesquièrove superherojske vizije u neoprenu, Wang nam nudi novu Balenciaga eru - savršeno luksuznu, a istovremeno i nosivu, baš kao što bi Cristóbal voleo.

...holing your breath because Alexander Wang is not going anywhere - he's proven that he can walk in Cristóbala Balenciaga's demanding shoes quite confidently. First collection for a big fashion house might be your make it or break it moment, but it is the second one that determines if you are here to stay. Leaning heavily on Balenciaga heritage when it comes to curvy tectonics and eclectic accessories, but also his own talent for monochromatic opulence, Wang gives us minimalist masterpieces worthy the great name of the House. Just when we thought we could never love anything more than Ghesquière's neoprene superhero visions, Alexander Wang is there to introduce us to the new Balenciaga era - perfectly luxurious, yet approachable at the same time, just as Cristóbal would have wanted him to.
