Wang’s First Balenciaga Ad Stars The Back Of A Supermodel’s Head
Usually when a brand springs for a major face to front their campaign, you expect to see, well, a face.

Alexander Wang On His Asian Background And New Balenciaga Job
Alexander Wang‘s appointment at Balenciaga has been divisive, and, quite honestly, he was an odd choice for the job. A grungy young New York designer taking over a storied French house seems strange, but while the brand’s CEO, Karl Lagerfeld, Grace Coddington, and more have weighed in on the matter, Wang has remained relatively silent about his new high-profile gig — until now, that is.

PHOTOS: Alexander Wang Comes Out Swinging For Fall 2013
While yesterday’s Alexander Wang show was held in a space across from that quintessential icon of New York City, the Wall Street Bull, the chatter inside was, predictably, focused on Paris, where the designer will be showing his first collection as creative director of Balenciaga in a few weeks time. While the collection he showed yesterday evening for his eponymous label didn’t exactly answer any of these questions, that didn’t stop many (ourselves included) from drawing some conclusions from the looks we saw on the runway.
Behold! Alexander Wang’s Latest Collaboration Is Here

With Wang In At Balenciaga, Is The Vogue Paris Ban Finally Over?
Vogue Paris’ February 2013 cover is a thing of beauty, with Milla Jovovich shot by Inez and Vinoodh on a New York rooftop clad in head-toe-toe Saint Laurent, with the hazy skyline lit up behind her. But….wait! What’s that coverline we see? “Alexander Wang: le joker de Balenciaga”?! Could it be that Balenciaga is finally putting an end to their ban on working with the French title?
Happy Birthday, Alex Wang! A Look Back On His Best Moments Of 2012
To say that 2012 has treated Alexander Wang well would be an understatement.

Grace Coddington‘s publicity blitz for her recently-released memoir Grace means we’ve had the chance to hear from Vogue‘s Titian-haired creative director on everything from taking the subway to Anna Wintour‘s powers as both psychic and seductress.

PPR Says Wang’s New Gig Has Nothing To Do With His Background
Alexander Wang‘s appointment at Balenciaga is quite a coup for the downtown designer, but also confusing. A young, contemporary designer at the helm of a 98-year-old French fashion house? Indeed, it sounds slightly off, but Balenciaga CEO Isabelle Guichot, Karl Lagerfeld, and more have all weighed in on why Wang was chosen to head the company. Today, it’s parent company PPR‘s turn.
Karl Lagerfeld: Alex Wang Is A ‘Good Choice In Light Of…Future Projects’
If anyone knows the demands of juggling multiple fashion lines, it’s Karl Lagerfeld (what is he at now — 10? 15?) And so, amidst concern that Alexander Wang might be spreading himself too thin with his newly-announced position as creative director of Balenciaga, it must be nice to know he has the master multitasker in his corner.
Balenciaga Explains Why They Picked Alexander Wang
We’d venture to say that the news of Alexander Wang‘s appointment at Balenciaga has been more divisive than that of either Raf Simons at Dior or Hedi Slimane at Yves Saint Laurent. But one person seems 100 percent certain that the choice will serve the house well: Balenciaga CEO Isabelle Guichot.

Alexander Wang On His Days As A Vogue Intern

PHOTOS: Who Won And Lost On The CFDA/Vogue Red Carpet?
We already know who took home the grand prize at last night’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards (that would be Greg Chait of The Elder Statesman), but there was no shortage of champions on the red carpet, either. Designers, models, editors, and fashion fans alike donned their best all-American duds and stepped out to strike a pose or two.

Liberty Ross made one helluva comeback at Alexander Wang‘s spring 2013 runway show. In a new “Confessional” video for the designer, she opens up about her first modeling experience, her dad’s roller disco in Los Angeles, and kinda sorta addresses Rupert Sanders‘ sordid affair with Kristen Stewart.
