In anticipation of the March premiere show of the collection by Alexander Wang, the creative director of the Parisian Balenciaga fashion house, we can appreciate his next work for his own brand. Trying to see the hints of the future show, we analyze the designer’s current mood in the elements of the Alexander Wang Fall-Winter 2013-2014 collection, which was shown in the historic Cunard building at the southern end of Manhattan and became, according to the words of the designer, the answer to the “graphic sharpness, demonstrated during the previous season.”
This time the designer shows the softest features of his fashion character: the author mixes goat and alpacas fur with mohair and wool, adding ethnic accents, but then he abandons romanticism for the sake of traditional sports elements – lapels, studs, and zippers. Big fur mittens, hoods and huge wide-open collars deserve stormy applause.
