Alaia's Latest Show "Celebrates the Freedom of Women"
Briefly

Pieter Mulier's latest Alaïa collection redefines fashion's timeline by embracing a concept of timeless beauty, inspired by artist Mark Manders. Mulier, reflecting on Alaïa's legacy of rejecting conventional seasonality, introduces a Summer/Autumn collection that emphasizes the notion that beauty transcends epochs. Each ensemble is designed with sculptural complexity, echoing Manders' bronzes, and intended to exist outside of specific historical references. This collection aims to empower women while honoring Alaïa’s philosophy that beauty is eternal and exclusive to individual expression.
"His work talks about history, and how time has no grasp on the idea of beauty. Beauty is timeless. That, for me, is ultimate Alaïa."
"Every look is a sculpture. He didn't mean they look like statues - rather, that each look, with its complex construction methods, stood away and around the body, creating its own shapes."
