On the 11th of December 2011, the
Groninger Museum, in the Netherlands, opened an exhibition entitled
Alaïa - Azzedine Alaïa in the 21st century. This exhibition displays the most
fantastic Alaïa fashion creations of the last
ten years. Each room in the exhibition will focus on a different material that Azzedine Alaïa has
consistently used over the past decade:
velvet, fur, wool, leather, cotton, animal skins, chiffon and knitwear.
Azzedine Alaïa is one of the last major living
couturiers. The exhibition focuses on Alaïa’s work in the 21st Century. It is the
sequel to the presentation of his designs from previous decades, also shown at the Groninger Museum in 1997-1998, and which
subsequently travelled to the
Brant Foundation,
Guggenheim Soho in New York in 2000. Tunisian-born
Azzedine Alaïa is one of the most
important fashion designers of the last decades. The name Alaïa stands for
glamour, sensuality, style, cut, self-confidence, comfort, and of course, sex appeal. His tight dresses embrace the bodies of the world’s most
seductive and
successful women. Love his work! Really wanna visit the exhibition!
What do ya think...
