PARIS FASHION WEEK SPRING/SUMMER 2015
Alexander Wang's love of modernism, black, and a glossy finish was out in full effect (albeit it with hint at Cristobel Balenciaga's legacy) as an army of girls stormed down the runway. The tailored fluidity of floor-length overcoats whispered archive - think a Balenciaga balloon jacket seen through a Matrix movie prism, and the precise cut (the black jumpsuits with embellished pockets were particularly articulate) reminded us of the skill of the house, but the tone was (of course) sporty, there was no romance here.
