“This Alaïa collection began with thoughts of history, of geography, of sculpture, and always of women. They are all part of the clothes, within them.
The clothes reference multiple histories, different periods and places expressed simultaneously, through a shape or detail. By evoking these traces of histories – by remembering them – we can create a synthesis for our time, something new.
Clothes move like kinetic sculpture, living, animated with pleats and drapes. Hoods conceal and reveal, framing faces like a portrait of a woman, a portrait of beauty.”
Pieter Mulier
