Azzedine Alaia (1935 2017) was regarded as a contemporary fashion
genius. Edited by his close friend, Carla Sozzani, and life
partner, Christoph von Weyhe, this new volume presents an
unprecedented view into Alaia s early life and career, from his
native Tunisia and 1956 arrival in Paris, to his breakthrough 1982
New York show. From apprenticeships to encounters with Paris s
creative and society crowds, this book pays homage to Alaia s
evolution. Chronological chapters depict a designer devoted to his
work while enjoying friendships with such individuals as Arletty,
Orson Welles, Claudette Colbert, Jean Cocteau, Louise de Vilmorin,
and Andre Malraux. Quotes by Alaia accompany gorgeous photographs
of iconic dresses and lesser-known designs, providing captivating
stories behind the inspirations for his creations, while interviews
share intimate anecdotes from Serge Lutens, Thierry Mugler, Carlyne
Cerf, and more. Accompanying an exhibition at the Azzedine Alaia
Foundation, this unique publication delves into rare archival
materials, private photographs, and prominent publications to
powerfully illustrate the fascinating journey of a fashion legend.
