"Dialogue" is a series of cultural projects directed by Pieter Mulier.

A time to slow down and question the possibilities of fashion, by inviting it to dialogue with other creative forms.

Alaïa's third Dialogue was with six of Paris’ most prominent design galleries: Galerie Jacques Lacoste, Galerie Kiyama, Galerie Kreo, Galerie Maxime Flatry, Galerie Patrick Seguin, Galerie Vallois. 

Photographed by Katja Rahlwes, six distinct variations of Le Teckel, the Maison’s iconic bag designed by Pieter Mulier, were presented in these six galleries. Placed in closed proximity to unique design pieces, each bag became part of a conversation between form, function, and artistry; and appeared as an object in its own right. 

A testament to how Pieter Mulier’s Alaïa is intertwined with the language of design.

At Galerie Jacques Lacoste, Le Teckel forms an ensemble with Table Forme Libre (circa 1956) by Charlotte Perriand, and a 1955 vase by Valentine Schlegel.

At Galerie Vallois, Le Teckel converses with a sofa (circa 1922) by Pierre Chareau.

At Galerie Patrick Seguin, Le Teckel is displayed atop the S.A.M Tropique No. 503 Table (1951) by Jean Prouvé.

At Galerie Kiyama, Le Teckel stands in dialogue with two vases (circa 1945) by Tanabe Chikuunsai II.

At Galerie Kreo, Le Teckel rests on a coffee table from 2024 by Ronan Bouroullec.

At Galerie Maxime Flatry, Le Teckel embraces the modernist lines of a circa 1931 dining table by Michel Dufet.
