After two-and-a-half years, Alexander Wang is reported to be leaving Balenciaga this September. While he’s only designed ten collections to date, they’ve been filled with big red-carpet moments, surprise supermodel appearances, and the return of the “It” bag. His fall 2013 debut single-handedly made black-and-white marble the most ubiquitous Instagram background, while his Le Dix Cartable handbag was Wang’s polished, ladylike answer to the City bags of the early ‘00s. Wang has managed to get Daria Werbowy and Gisele Bündchen to return to the runway to close his spring 2014 and fall 2014 shows respectively. And celebrity-wise, he was able to court some of the biggest: Julianne Moore, Carey Mulligan, Lady Gaga, and Kerry Washington were among the many women who consistently wore his designs.
