ALAIA FOR RIGHT NOW

We've been posting a lot of Herve Leger in the last few months, but here is an Alaia dress that is perfection to wear on a sexy Saturday night. One percent wool with ribbed sleeves and mini detail and a versatile zip-up the front...there's something about a zipper that is always very "kiss and tell." Great with tights and high boots. So many ways to wear this dress and it will keep you warm and sizzlin' "hot"!

Alaia 80s black wool long sleeve ribbed mini dress with zip front. Marked size L, it stretches, but fits more like a modern 4 - 6 SOLD

ALL HAIL AZZEDINE ALAIA

Today is a great day for Azzedine Alaia. As reported today, Compagnie Financière Richemont is Azzedine Alaia's new fashion backer, since Alaia bought back his business from Prada a few months ago. Amidst a slew of Herve Leger posts for this week, we are delighted to propose a chic 90s design by Azzedine Alaia, the original King of body-conscious clothing.

This peach viscose-blend tank dress with a drop waist and pleated skirt is reminiscent of a 30s tennis costume but sexed-up for a modern and toned body. So, let's celebrate the genius of Alaia and his cash injunction, too!

"Can't You See The Forest For The Sleeves?"

We recently came across this remarkable Azzedine Alaia wool dress in seasonally-chic forest green. The cut and fabrication are unmistakeably Alaia, but the two-layered bell sleeve channels a hippy-dippy vibe that's anything but. It's a great study in contrasts! (Note: the camera flash doesn't do justice to the color of this garment--in person, it's much more vibrant and not nearly as sheer as it looks on the mannequin!)

ALAIA... Enough Said!

Let's just keep this really simple. Here is a late 1980s Azzedine Alaia stretch acetate knit mock-turtleneck dress with long sleeves and a short skirt. It's black and the knit is "water-marked" in a subtle moire pattern that is very difficult for us to show in a picture. But, you get the picture. Straight up sexy...forever sexy.

AH ALAIA AH HA

There is more to Alaia that short body conscious mini dresses. There are also long body conscious dresses like this full length number in a wonderful ink color. Our flash makes the dress look X-rated but the acetate knit really is matte when it's on your body, but without the flash, one can't see the iconic seaming of Alaia. It's marked a size medium and shown on our size 4 mannequin. It's a knit so it can accommodate a true size 6 or 8, too.

Sorry about the Xray photos...but it's a hot dress! We swear...
