Ladder-Knit Maxi Dress

Simple, elegant and iconic are the three main tenets that define an Alaïa piece. The label, founded in 1964, has a penchant for playing with fashion conventions without sacrificing its timeless style. This maxi dress trades a traditional look knit for an eye-catching ladder knit, losing none of its sophisticated impact in the process.

The legendary Paris fashion house was founded in the sixties and by the 1980s, Tunisian sculptor and couturier, Azzedine Alaïa’s powerful, feminine silhouettes were revered worldwide. Today, his legacy prevails in dresses and ready to wear, shoes and bags, including the cult La Coeur heart bag.
