AZZEDINE ALAЇA<br />

SHOP-IN-SHOP<br />

Since the launch of his first collection in 1980,<br />

Parisian designer Azzedine Alaia perceives himself<br />

more as a sculptor than a designer, emphasizing in<br />

his work the structure and purity of forms. Alaia is<br />

a true ambassador of raw sexuality: his infamous<br />

corseted dresses that gracefully embrace woman’s<br />

body have been forever imprinted in the history of<br />

fashion. Many modern designers aspire and look up<br />

to his legendary designs. Alaia’s clothing is notable for<br />

architectural forms, footwear and accessories – for use<br />

of sophisticated weaving and punching techniques.<br />

The customers of the Azzedine Alaia House are as<br />

legendary as its creations: Tina Turner, Madonna,<br />

Grace Jones, Cindy Crawford, Stephanie Seymour and<br />

the designer’s favorite model Naomi Campbell.
