Alexander Wang's first collection for the house of Balenciaga will debut to a select group of editors and buyers in Paris tomorrow. Naturally, fashion critics have worked themselves into a state of frothy anticipation about it all, and the event has become hands down the most buzz-worthy show of this season's Paris Fashion Week.
So to ease the pain of waiting for photos and reviews to come out, we here at Racked have put together a sort-of-scientific analysis of the top 10 adjectives reviewers use to describe Wang and his aesthetic. Based on a survey of 25 articles published about Wang by respected outlets—including Vogue, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal, among others—this is what we found:
The Top 10 Words Used to Describe Alexander Wang:

Downtown (5)
Street-wise (5)
Wunderkind (4)
Savvy (3)
Creative (3)
Grungy (2)
Edgy (2)
Energetic (2)

Get ready for more where that came from following tomorrow's presentation.
