Editor’s Guide: Mastering the Alaïa Silhouette

Alaïa is defined by the waist. The silhouette is almost always “fit and flare” or “second skin.” Here is how to style these architectural pieces.

1. The Laser-Cut Look

The “Vienne” laser-cut pattern is the brand’s signature. If you are wearing a laser-cut Mina Tote or belt, keep the rest of your outfit solid and simple. Let the intricate leatherwork serve as the pattern.

2. The Sculptural Knit

Alaïa’s knitwear is heavy and supportive—it acts like shapewear. Style a knit skater dress with simple heels. You rarely need a bra or heavy undergarments due to the density of the fabric.

3. The Statement Shoe

The mesh ballet flats and bombe sandals are icons. Pair them with cropped trousers or denim to show off the ankle straps and signature spherical details.

Sizing Guide: Alaïa

Alaïa uses French Sizing (FR) and is historically known to run small.

  • Ready-to-Wear: The fit is tight. A vintage Alaïa rule is to “size up,” but modern collections under Pieter Mulier are slightly more true-to-size. However, if you have a larger bust or hips, sizing up is still recommended.
  • Shoes: Alaïa shoes run true to size, but the toe boxes can be narrow. For pointed styles, take half a size up.
  • Belts: Corset belts are sized by waist measurement (e.g., 70, 75, 80). Measure your waist at the narrowest point for the correct fit.
