Au revoir Nicolas Ghesquiére! If you haven’t heard the news already, Alexander Wang has officially been confirmed as the new creative director at Balenciaga by PPR – the luxury French conglomerate which purchased Balenciaga in 2001. PPR also includes large names such as: Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Stella McCartney. Though Wang is known for his contemporary street-style fashion, he plans on embracing and enriching the designs that Balenciaga has represented for almost 100 years now. At the ripe age of 28, Alexander Wang has become the first designer of Asian descent to lead a major French fashion house. No need to worry my friends, Alexander Wang will continue to oversee his brand that we have all come to know and love.
Take a peek at some of Balenciaga and Wang’s pieces below. How do you think the two will mix?

When the word “corduroy” comes to mind, I immediately have a flashback to myself in elementary school playing four-square on the playground. Not to say I wasn’t a super stylish kid, but the fabric seems to have an old-school vibe associated with it. Well say goodbye to the frumpy fits and dull color palettes of the past, and say hello to the hot new cords popping up everywhere this season! The bright colors and trendy skinny-cut lines make these pants a must-have for your closet. Besides, who doesn’t want an easy and fun alternative to jeans?
