Stretch-Wool Knitted-Band Shorts

Finding clothing that can seamlessly slot into your repertoire while also invigorating it can be tricky, but Alaïa strikes the perfect balance with these shorts. Riffing on the timelessness of tailoring, they're imagined in a straight silhouette decorated with gentle pleats, yet are elevated by an elasticated knitted waistband, providing a comforting, contouring effect.

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.
