{"title":"Azzedine Alaïa","description":"\u003cp\u003eAzzedine Alaïa was born in Tunis and opened his Paris house in 1979 after working for Dior, Guy Laroche and Thierry Mugler. He became known in the 1980s as the king of cling for his body conscious knit dresses, leather pieces and precise cutting, and he showed on his own calendar rather than following the fashion weeks. Alaïa died in 2017, and the house is led by Pieter Mulier since 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AKAIBU archive holds Azzedine Alaïa womenswear from the 1990s, including knit dresses and sets, wrap and kimono tops, crop tops and mesh pieces, textured and braided knitwear, leather, bolero jackets, skirts, trousers and heels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlaïa garments carry the Azzedine Alaïa Paris label and are made in France or Italy.
