Balenciaga Resort 2016 Collection

Black alligator slide

Natural raffia sneaker with velcro strap

White leather slide with pvc

It is good to see Mr. Wang creating fashion-forward accessories that Balenciaga traditionally hasbeen known for. Alexander used a diverse array of materials such as raffia, pvc to luxury staplealligator. I enjoyed the fact that for Fall 2015 an eco-friendly sneaker was created using raffia whichwill definitely be a future sneakerhead collectible.

The two slides are very futuristic and edgy due to its elongated body and inclusion of multiplematerials. One slide has a sharp stiletto and the other has a kitten heel, so if you are afraid ofheights you will not be denied. In addition, each heel comes either in standard white or black.

There are rumors that the Balenciaga-Alexander Wang marriage might end and after looking at thiscollection I hope that it is not true.
