American fashion designer Alexander Wang was hired by Balenciaga in December 2012 to replace Nicolas Ghesquière. After six seasons, Balenciaga will no longer be renewing the contract of Wang. It has been reported that the designer's last show will be the Spring 2016 Collection that will be seen in Paris Fashion Week this coming September. Alexander Wang's designs are mostly sleek, minimalist yet elegant and chic. Let's take a look at some of Alexander Wang's bag designs for Balenciaga.

Introduced on his first collection for Fall/Winter 2013, the Le Dix line was first seen in tote, and after a few seasons it has been made available in different styles like Shoulder Bag, Clutch, Pochette, Backpack, Wallets and Accessories.
