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 Velvet Bodycon Dress in Bottle Green is the piece I recommend to a customer who wants the cut to do the work. Nothing else needs adding. The fabrication is 63% viscose, 37% polyamide, and the seams do the work.”
