But it's an Alaia...

You may have guessed that I absolutely love Alaia. He is an amazing designer that continues to inspire and garner the kind of devotion unmatched by his contemporaries, yet he sits "outside the circle" of fashion. A retrospective of his work "Azzedine Alaia in the 21st century" is currently on display at The Groninger Museum in the Netherlands. Following are examples of his work - a man whose dresses sculpture a womans' body.
