ALAÏA
Worn by the supermodels of the day, Azzedine Alaïa’s figure-skimming styles came to embody the celebratory, upbeat atmosphere of the 1980s and 1990s. Belgian designer Pieter Mulier, who joined the French luxury fashion house in 2021, has taken the label in a new direction while paying homage to the spirit of its late founder – the creative director balances timeless simplicity with an overt sensuality that reinforces the house’s legacy. The label’s signature concertina crochet dresses are as popular today as ever, proving that seductive statement pieces can be timeless too.
