Alexander Wang’s 10th anniversary show for his namesake brand was a fashionable fête of the most luxurious persuasion, thus it was only right he make his swan song at Balenciaga just as explosive. He was brought on as the Creative Director for the French fashion house because of his “proven talent, modernity and individual and cosmopolitan vision of design” according to chief executive Isabelle Guichot and he truly delivered during his time there. For his finale, he showcased that quintessential Wang charisma from enlisting friend and muse Zoe Kravitz to model in the runway show, as well as choosing a soundtrack of hip hop legends: a genre he has clung to during his career.
Hip-slung waistpacks, cigarette cases, and come hither lacy slippers brought in his signature approachability and street-style sensibility, while the array of all-white looks injected a sense of purity. Perhaps cleansing the palette for the next designer who will be stepping into the esteemed role.
Boudoir-ready attire has been a prevalent trend of late and Wang riffed on it with delicate silk dresses, plush camisoles accented with sleeveless silhouettes, low-cut necklines, and feminine ruffles, as well as sleek and soft trousers with roomy legs and low rises.
Monochromatic collections often err on the side of dullness, but that wasn’t the case here at all. If the devil is in the details, then he might just be thinking of switching to a white wardrobe for Spring. Details including dainty bows, sultry mesh insets, his signature bralette reworked with extra straps and ruffles, and frocks taking on the shape of corsets and garters were all present.
Wang took his bow with some obligatory selfies: he is a millennial after all. It was definitely a moving juncture for the designer and the industry as a whole, but we know this means new and exciting possibilities for the future. We’re eager about what’s next.

Count on Tom Ford to keep fanatics of his creations on the tips of their toes. The designer took his eponymous line from the quintessential catwalk – usually filled with throngs of fashion’s elite seated in the crowd – this season to give us something a little…different. The vibe was slightly more intimate, but electric: consistent with what Studio 54 and Soul Train were in their heydays. But instead of a jubilant Diana Ross shimmying and cutting a rug with Andy Warhol, models danced to Lady Gaga’s pulsating new single “I Want Your Love”, as the singer, herself, played emcee – and model – to Tom Ford’s beautifully clad affair.
There were tons of 70’s inspired looks for this season’s assortment. Taking references from an era as glamorous as disco made this collection an eye-catching one.
Colorful party dresses bedecked in sequins and embellishments glistened under a lit runway as models grooved and sashayed.
The silhouette was a bit more relaxed for Ford this season. Wide leg trousers, tops, and even coats seemed to flow effortlessly with each move; almost weightless in a sense.
Ford is never one to shy away from textures, and his play on them this season was as impeccable as the last. The standouts? A gold lamé, croc-embossed overcoat, lightweight cropped jackets peppered with evenly spaced grommets, scores of silk, and slinky lace dresses and tops perfect for next season’s best dressed socialite.
Though the collection was more concise than usual, there wasn’t much more needed. There was just enough glitz and glamour to liven up a season where everything seems to be on the cusp of blossoming. The likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez are certain to add a few pieces to their wardrobes. Tom Ford proved once again that when it comes to womenswear, he knows exactly what his customer wants and how confident, sexy and commanding she wants to feel while she wears him. And with a collection as dynamic as this, we can’t help but wonder when and where the next soirée will be.
