By Editor Design.nl / 05-01-2012

This exhibition displays the most fantastic Alaïa fashion creations of the last ten years.

Alaïa is one of the last major couturiers still active. The exhibition is a follow-on to the overview of his work shown in the Groninger Museum in 1998, which was subsequently displayed at the Brant Foundation in New York in 2002.

Tunisian-born Azzedine Alaïa is one of the most important fashion designers of the last decades. The name Alaïa stands for glamour, sensuality, style, cut, self-confidence, comfort and, of course, sex appeal. His range of clothing has received great acclaim from celebrities.

Activities

Compilation The exhibition Azzedine Alaïa in the 21st Century has been compiled by curator Mark Wilson.
