Balenciagas kreative direktør, Nicolas Ghesquière, gikk av etter 15 år i fjor. Han ble erstattet av suksessdesigner Alexander Wang (29), som denne uken leverte sin debut-kolleksjon for merket.
Forventningene var - lite overraskende, skyhøye da modellene gikk ned catwalken torsdag kveld på Avenue George V i Paris.
Hadde 29-åringen, som er en stor favoritt blant kjendiser og fashionistaer, klart det?

Wang leverte elegante klær som var i tråd med motehusets tradisjonelle estetikk. Selv om motebransjen ikke var i ekstase over det de så, var likevel de fleste tilbakemeldingene positive.
Motejournalist Cathy Horyn anmeldte kolleksjonen hans i New York Times, hvor hun hyllet hvordan Wang hadde mikset sin kjente gatestil med Balenciagas klassiske volumer.
– Ham minimerte volumene slik at de så mer realistisk og anvendelig ut. Selv om han forenklet konstruksjonen, var resultatet likevel ikke kjedelig minimalistisk, skrev Horyn.
