MORE INFORMATIONS
Azzedine Alaïa is known for his exacting standards and for his pairing of traditional couture techniques with innovative materials. Since the 1950s he has studied the work of other master couturiers, including Charles James, whose “La Sirène” dress (2009.300.2915) informed this design. Here, alternating bands of black and white knit highlight the contours of the figure, echoing the effect created by James’s precise tucks. The black sections are composed of houpette, a fabric developed for Alaïa that uses short tufts of nylon designed to have the feel of swan’s down. Alaïa’s knitwear subtly sculpts the body by creating varied tension in precise areas, but it ultimately relies on the wearer’s form for structural support. Made of a soft chenille or Houpette reminiscent of swan down. Characterized by panels of stretch fabric with cage pattern or ribbed. This dress is kept at the Fashion Institute Design Museum, while the full version is kept at the Met.
