- Hourglass: The house was built for curves. Let the fabric skim rather than cling, and keep the size true rather than going down.
- Tall: Column lines and unbroken vertical seaming lengthen the frame. Keep the shoe low and the line clean.
- Petite: Choose the higher waist and the shorter length in the range, and let the sculpted shoulder do the work of adding height.

About Alaïa
Alaïa is the Paris house Azzedine Alaïa opened in 1979, showing his first ready-to-wear collection the year after. The press called him the King of Cling for the way he cut knit and leather to the body, and the clients who wore him, Grace Jones, Tina Turner and Naomi Campbell among them, made the seaming famous. Richemont has owned the house since 2007. Pieter Mulier led the studio as creative director from 2021 to 2026, bringing back the ballet flat, the second-skin knit and the Le Teckel bag, and the in-house studio now carries the collections. Alaïa ready-to-wear is made in Italy and France, and it is a Luxury Handbags editor favourite for evening dressing and for women buying a piece they intend to keep.
“An Alaïa Cotton Velvet Double-Breasted Jacket in Black is the piece I recommend to a customer who wants the cut to do the work. Nothing else needs adding. The fabrication is 100% cotton, and the seams do the work.”
