Marking his second runway show for Balenciaga womenswear, designer Alexander Wang aimed to bring some ease to the brand’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Indeed, the new lineup offered a more relaxed silhouette and more varied color palette than that of fall, but it still retained the structure of the fashion house’s DNA. Wang incorporated some of his own street wear aesthetic with the introduction of cropped tops paired with peplum skirts and shorts that had a sporty undertone. The Balenciaga woman embraced her girlish side in dainty dresses in pink and blue worn underneath sheer capes and veils.

Victoria Beckham sent out a crisp collection with tennis-inspired touches like pleated miniskirts and sheer warm-up jackets. WIth a clean palette of black, white and gray with pops of fuchsia and maroon, the collection relied on textural touches like collaged tops, sheer geometric inserts and tonal cream on white. Victoria Beckham also hooked into one of the season’s early favorites, the slouchy culotte, here paired with sleeveless tuxedo vest.

With Pharoahe Monch booming on the speakers, it was a trip back to the 90s tomboy for Alexander Wang. Menswear was the jumping-off point for the collection, with classic suiting being used for everything from spaghetti-strapped slip dresses to the waistbands of leather shorts. Men’s pajamas popped up in sexy shorts looks with plenty of stomach exposed. There were old-school hip-hop references sprinkled into the collection. Babydoll dresses splashed with the designer’s name mingled with leather overall dresses, while workwear made an appearance in black shorts suits with white stitching. The shoes were a new silhouette for Alexander Wang, with a heavy platform and chunky heel all, in a high-sheen patent that almost looked like gleaming rubber at a distance. His bags were on full display with sleek duffels and oversize clutches standing out in shades of maroon and baby pink.
