The wait is over

Alexander Wang made his much anticipated debut at Balenciaga today in Paris. Worries about a young street-influenced designer taking over such an enormous and classic brand were put to rest. Wang took this collection back to the roots of the house.

A focus on construction, architecture, and fit put all emphasis on the clothes. No gimmicks or trend dominated pieces were shown. Clean lines and silhouettes made for a simple presentation. Marble details, fur, single strap stilettos, and a black and white dominance gave a sophisticated view of classics.

Not only did Wang prove that he is worthy of his new title, but he proved his maturity as a designer.

So much respect for him, and such a big step for young designers.
I'm excited for what the future will bring!

Hoping this isn't a trend report....

I have been seeing a lot of these large furry hand cover/mitten/cuffs/???? attached to tiny models, and I'm at a loss for words.
What?
Why?
How?
Help?
Some things are just meant to go over my head.
I understand drama in a runway show, but come on. In no way shape or form could these be realistically worn.
So here's to hoping this trend is strictly editorial!

All white everything

Head to toe white looks are shining bright on every runway. Crisp and clean, these looks are extremely flattering on anyone. White on white has become a classic, and this fall it will be in full force.
Time for me to learn how to drink without spilling on myself!
