In a bid to make women feel their most powerful, Azzedine Alaïa used his background of sculpture to inform the pieces for his eponymous Maison with a couture-inspired sensibility. Today, this continues under the direction of Pieter Mulier: here presenting a velvet skirt layered over straight trousers for a nuanced look that fuses allure with sophistication.

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.
