Description
Model History:
Since the 1980s, Azzedine Alaïa has imposed a distinctive sculptural style by working knitwear like a second skin. His technical knit dresses made fashion history for their ability to sublimate curves without sacrificing comfort. This dress is a continuation of this heritage, taking up the house’s iconic codes: masterful play on volumes, structuring elasticity, and geometric motifs inspired by architecture and tribal art, recurring in Alaïa collections from 2000 to 2010.
Exterior details:
The dress features a textured pattern in black jacquard knit on a white background. The top of the garment is adorned with diamond motifs, while the skirt adopts a wavy pattern reminiscent of waves. The structured V-neck and scalloped finishing at the bottom of the dress underline the technicality of the knitting. The seams are invisibly integrated into the pattern, reinforcing the impression of fluidity. Approx. knee-length.
Interior Details:
The dress has no lining, in keeping with Alaïa’s compact knit fabrication technique. The inner fabric is as meticulous as the outer, with a dense knit for optimum support. The composition label and “Alaïa Paris” label are sewn into the side seam, discreet but faithful to the house’s minimalist aesthetic.
Product Condition:
The dress is brand new, with no visible snags, distortions or stains. The fibers are clean, the elastics tight, and the cut retains its original fit. No alteration of the pattern or loosening of the stitch has been noted, testifying to very limited use and good care.
Care instructions:
This dress should be hand-washed cold or dry-cleaned in a specialized dry cleaner for delicate knits. Drying flat is essential to preserve the elasticity of the fiber and avoid distortion. Ironing is not recommended. Store flat or on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.
