Alexander Wang, now in his third runway season at Balenciaga is feeling more confident. “I go back to pieces that feel familiar—it’s a sweater, it’s a wrap dress, it’s a raincoat—and ask myself, ‘How do I make it feel special?'”
Cabled knits were paired with leather, rugby-stripe dresses were knit from thin strips of polyester jersey, and ribbed pullovers were reimagined with thick fur. Wang also gave the evening sweater idea a go- again. He added gray wool shrugs with beading around the necklines and wrapped satin tops.
