Balenciaga Spring 2015

PARIS — Smoke and reflective glass never really go out of fashion and when designer Alexander Wang had built his Balenciaga runway for Spring 2015 he specified as much. In the end the glass was see-through, which meant the smoke underneath was visible to create an effect that the models were quite literally walking on air. Delicate embroidery for this collection demanded nothing less. On the night of Wednesday underneath a tent at 18 Avenue de New York before tightly selected audience (there were only so many seats in the gallery and little to no place for any stray souls to stand) Luka and Hedvig Palm both featured looks on the runway. For Belgian model Luka the occasion was all the more memorable because it marked her runway debut. As ever, if you are going to start walking, then you might as well aim for the clouds, which is precisely what Luka and Hedvig did.
