Seems like the transitional period is going very well at the house of Balenciaga. Alexander Wang successfully completed the Resort collection for 2014. Even though it became obvious that he had a consistency with his debut collection (the characteristic color palette of back, white and grey was present, again), it was a pleasant surprise to see that he’s becoming harmonized with Balenciaga’s history. Volume, shapes and ruffles, that is. Maybe the fact that his inspiration was Cristóbal Balenciaga’s birth town in Gelaria, Spain, had something to do with it. But either way, Wang is (almost) feeling at home.
