A Written Design Analysis
Alexander Wang is one of the most buzzed about designers out there, especially as a young visionary who took the reins of the Balenciaga label as creative director at the ripe age of 28. Wang presented the new spring/summer 2014 ready-to-wear collection at the Observatoire de Paris, a lofty space that has apparently never been used for a fashion show before. Wang knows the value in being first, and that appreciation informed the materials he developed. Alexander Wang's second offering for Balenciaga was a pretty pastel dream, with woven sugared almond pink and blue skirt suits opening the show, and structured lace-trimmed mini dresses continuing the ultra-feminine theme. Sharp, monochrome blazers with sheer tulle sleeves added a touch of the designer's signature sports luxe vibe, with white laser cut leather skirts and T-shaped dresses creating a fresh springtime mood.
A trio of dresses, meringues of ruffles suspended from corset bodies. One of those dresses being the Balenciaga Projected Tank Dress in pink. This feminine tank dress was made in France out of Soie dévorée, 82% viscose and 18% silk. Using a variety of thin, diagonal lines, there is a visible fishnet base with a corset structure of vertical lines to create a slimming effect around the waist of the dress; they are more visible in the back. The sleeves are a good length, not too long and not too short, and stop at the waist where the corset lines end so they are not distracting from the rest of the design.
The embroidered pattern is created with fuzzy, continuous, and curvy lines on the ruffle sleeves, making multiple shapes. Off the shoulder sleeves that wrap around the back with ruffles, make a 3D bow-like illusion on the front of the dress to provide form and structure. Once again there is a fishnet material under the embroidery fabric to create even more ruffled texture across the front of this dress. The perfectly straight hemline at the bottom of the dress is very
