The son of Tunisian wheat farmers, Azzedine
Alaïa's affinity for fashion was nurtured by the glossy pages of Vogue, instilling him with a drive to reach the glittering streets of Paris. Opening his atelier in the late 1970s, the designer electrified the capital with his second-skin silhouettes that question the boundaries between flesh and fabric, just like this midi dress. Cut to a high-neck silhouette, it’s softly pooled at the waist with fine ruching before cascading over your curves to a slinky hem.
