Azzedine Alaïa is a unique classic of modern fashion, who is put on a par with Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Cristobal Balenciaga and other great couturiers. The collections he created were real works of art – man-made masterpieces that will forever remain for centuries and will be studied by descendants as magnificent creations of one of the best masters of fashion art.
Azzedine was called ‘The King of Cling’, he was the first to use elastic materials that seductively outlined the contours of the female body, as well as a corset made of fabric, inspired by his beloved XVIII century. He dressed his models in tight skirts: short or medium length, giving the female body a perfect shape.
Each couturier’s dress was a hymn to femininity, sophistication and beauty. He created his miracles like a sculptor, working with fabrics right on the mannequin – he liked to do drapery and design.
Modern cult designers have repeatedly expressed that the magnificent garments of Azzedine Alaïa will forever remain for them a symbol of femininity and elegant sexuality, and they will refer to his archives, to be inspired by his works to create their own collections. Like the sculptures of Michelangelo and the canvases of great artists, the designer’s collections are immortal and timeless.
Alaïa’s philosophy is about creation of clothing and accessories that make women beautiful and exalt female forms. As a tribute to the great master who knew how to create perfect feminine images, the Alaïa fashion house launched a collection of sunglasses which showcases splendid vintage silhouettes including oversized models that are always in vogue.
The shapes, colors and textures of the sunglasses introduced in the collection are the quintessence of the aesthetics created by the great couturier.
