Alaïa

Couture wasn’t exactly in Azzedine Alaïa’s blood; it was the influence of his twin sister that first piqued his interest in the world of dressmaking – a bold step away from the Tunisian family’s farming heritage. Renowned for his mastery over the female form, he built a brand that become known for its body-hugging silhouettes and signature lace accessories, with its waist-cinching belt and statement Corset bag now firm favourites among fashion’s elite.
