Minimal, pure, essential. Stripped back, reduced to the very essence of Alaïa.
The Summer Fall 26 collection is a reflection both on and of Azzedine’s work, marked with traces of Pieter Mulier - the passage of his time at the House.
Materials are both humble and precious: loden, viscose, cotton velvet, latex, raw-cut wool. Their modesty contrasts with the exceptional, a dichotomy that is quintessentially Alaïa. Accessories are pared back, taken away. There is no distraction. The focus here is on the body within the clothes, clothes that always celebrate women.
Silhouettes shift, materials evolve, time changes. The collection breathes, lives. It blooms from strictness, an athletic linearity, into fullness, like expanding possibilities.
