He never stops working – far from the spotlight, Azzedine Ala\u00efa nevertheless didn\u2019t abandon his passion and his couture. In over 40 years of career, this couturier with his eternal Chinese get-ups is today considered as the last real couturier. With his style against the grain of time and trends, with the rebellious spirit that makes him do and say exactly what he wants, there are few who compare to him. Ala\u00efa constructed his brand through an arranging of the body and a perfection in construction. With tapered silhouettes and stunning cuts, this Mediterranean designer for whom curves are a virtue presented his first collection in Paris as a member of the couture calendar since 2011.<\/p>\n
And his return was celebrated with plenty of fanfare. Naomi Campbell, his friend and prot\u00e9g\u00e9e ever since the beginning of her career, opened the show and summed things up thus: \u201cIt was really emotional, since I didn\u2019t want to blow him off and I wanted him to be proud of me. His clothing is exquisite. He\u2019s really the master.\u201d Indeed, no other couturier can boast of having such simple, fluid, and yet finely wrought dresses. His collection was classic Ala\u00efa – just like this spotted dress. Fitted and flared, the piece becomes one with the bod, with leather-spiked pleats, in black and with the signature spots.<\/p>\n
With a \u201cRussian doll\u201d spirit, the first looks in this Haute Couture collection introduced the very idea of Azzedine Ala\u00efa: \u201cA woman can\u2019t wear a drawing\u201d. This fantastic work in cuts fashions women\u2019s curves. With a sensuality tinged with authenticity, the couturier brings women a gracious and simply exquisite allure. Ala\u00efa meticulously singles out the true capabilities of haute couture here: mixing subtle but rich textures that seem to never have been worked before him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
