Balenciaga Fall-Winter 2013-2014

The case of Alexander Wang and Balenciaga - outstanding. Has never been to one of the major Parisian fashion houses, with very strong traditions and a powerful figure in the founding father, invited American. The British were the Italians were even Belgians - but to Chinese American 28 year-old found himself in the post of creative director level house Balenciaga! And 100 percent American, born in California and studied in New York Parsons School of Design.

On the one hand, it looked very modern, with another - alarmingly. One can only imagine how crazy the pressure fell on the fragile shoulders Wong: not only that it Balenciaga, so more and Balenciaga Nicolas Ghesquière after one of the best designers of our time. And now, seeing today's show, everyone breathed a sigh of relief - he did not fail! He truly mastered, and with the best possible results. You can see how carefully he delved into the archives, as he carefully reviewed everything that made Ghesquière.

The collection of Balenciaga FW2013 / 14 were all symbolic elements of style Balenciaga: hard, keep the shape of the tissue, the so-called architectural cut in short black jackets with raglan sleeves, a white and black tops with sleeves and without tech - in the skin with craquelure and tissue with the effect of the marble veins.

He made a series of beautiful black dresses complex futuristic style with draped under the breast - that is, even the notorious futurism, tightly glued to Ghesquière in the 15 years of his career, there was also.

And even short fur jackets and high hipsters with the same marble effect - especially for Anna Dello Russo. He chose monochrome range to maximize focus and emphasize it all. For a young man known before, mainly as a master of perfect gray sweat pants, he jumped just above his head. Everything was absolutely well done. But the triumph was not. And that's the whole problem.



Nicolas Ghesquière have, which inevitably will compare all Alexander Wong, not all collections were brilliant and flawless, but they always had something called "creative reinterpretation of" heritage of the great house, they had a strong personal vision - that is what has made bombshell in the late 90s. For the last 15 years, he always had something to say to the world.

All the same can be said about Raf Simons, with whom Wong now also begin to compare - because some of his collection for Dior and cause such a variety of emotions. What we saw today, is only one - boredom. Looking at her, I want to say the words Buffy - boooooring !!! Oh, if you could, Alexander Wang, were cold or hot! But you is warm - you're cute, able to work, having the ability of young people, who are very lucky - but no more. You, in fact, nothing to say, except platitudes like "intelligent collection for modern women." Obviously, the fashion-world shall deliver Alexander Wang, but in eternity fashion, close with Nicolas Ghesquière, and even more so with Cristobal Balenciaga, the place it is hardly a.
