As observed by Style.com, the Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2014 collection is Alexander Wang's "most confident collection to date." That is quite the bold statement and yet it rings true. This is due in large part to their reasoning, "It married the Cristobal Balenciaga codes with 21st-century performancewear, a language Wang knows intimately from his years at his own label." Dubbing it 'Techno Couture,' Wang shows off his singular vision with the Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2014 collection.
Although on the surface the designs in the Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2014 collection are chic and sophisticated, there is a strong underlying sportiness that owes itself to such activities as scuba diving and more. The sleek, modern designs are complemented by a glass-cased foliage floor and projected images.
