“I thought back to the time of the couture salon presentations in the Cristobal Balenciaga era, when clients had the luxury of time to view fashion in a leisurely way, but with an elevated sense of ceremony. I wanted to bring a sense of permanence to the space. I wanted it to feel like it has been there for decades,” Alexander Wang on the new Balenciaga flagship in SoHo. Below are photos from the opening night event of the new Balenciaga store located on 148 Mercer Street.
