Initial reaction:
Just look at Die Antwoord: the two were jammin' in the front row from the moment the first model walked out. Granted, it's hard to sit still with Diplo blaring from all sides, but fashion audiences don't usually feel the rhythm of a show like you would a song. Maybe we should. Alexander Wang was a great place to start: slick silhouettes, intricately crafted techy fabrics and a sporty vibe expressed a kind of cool you could feel. Head bob.
Trainer heaven:
Brands we never expected – Chanel, Dior – have shown trainers on the runway. But in a clever and crafty move, Wang took the trainer as the core inspiration for his collection. High-tech weaves with sculptural stiffness, cutouts overlain with mesh, a tread-inspired dress and even tiny barcodes on the collars of the opening looks all brought to mind fashion kicks fresh out of the box. The shoes in the show weren't actually trainers, though, but stretchy knit heels.
Front row ladies:
Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. 'Nuff said.

The soundtrack to Alexander Wang SS15:
Wang's AW14 show saw robo-warriors sporting brightly pigmented utilitarian ensembles, chevron knits and laser-cut leather paisley prints. See it below:
