Right off the heels of New York Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week 2014 is in full stride this week. Showcasing all the top designers fall 2014 collections, the runways are ablaze with stunning new trends, and some former friends.

Starting off the week of shows, Balenciaga has had a glorious run.  This marks the third season for Alexander Wang as the creative director for the Fashion house Balenciaga, and he is looking quite at home by now.  This collection is all about structure. Simple silhouettes, leather dresses, chunky metal accessories, and some bold trimmed details. In fact, it's all about the details for this collection.

Carefully detailed perforations over letter added simplistic, yet precise texture.  The tunics highlighted very bold X zippers crisscrossing over the bust, as well as down the pant legs of several pants.  And oversized parkas complete with fur trimmed details, and muumuus, where the eccentric extras.

The 2014 fall collection is all about minimalism, and covering up every inch of skin.  Long gloves, quilting, leather boots, and chunky accessories were paired with each piece from the collection.

I am very much a fan of the structured elements of this new collection, and think it's perfectly fitting for the fall season. What is your favorite look from the collection?
