Alaïa Brand
Alaïa Presents Its New Summer Fall 2025 Collection
Luxferity, 06.03.2025
This Alaïa collection began with thoughts of history, of geography, of sculpture, and always of women. They are all part of the clothes, within them.
Rubis Big Bang Handbag
The work of the sculptor Mark Manders punctuates the show space - and that space is normally the Alaïa atelier, an environment of creation shared between fashion and art, our common ground.
Manders’ work fascinates me - each of his sculptures seem itself a work either in progress, or marked by the passage of an imaginary time, reminiscent at once of many different cultures. And that idea of a non-linearity - of space, and of time - was inspiring. The idea of codes of beauty outside of any era or geography, free of boundaries, is innately keyed to the philosophy of Alaïa, our identity.
Space Big Bang Handbag
Cultures can inspire cultures, in constant exchange and evolution.
Bubble Gum Big Bang Handbag
That idea is echoed in not only these clothes but their music – an original soundtrack created for the show Liefde. Composed by Gustave Rudman, it features soprano Fatma Saïd's Aatini al-Nay wa-Ghanni, with a text by Khalil Gibran. The music could be from different origins, divergent places. It reflects a universality.
Blue Sky Big Bang Handbag
The clothes reference multiple histories, different periods and places expressed simultaneously, through a shape or detail. By evoking these traces of histories - by remembering them - we can create a synthesis for our time, something new.
Tweety Big Bang Handbag
Clothes move like kinetic sculpture, living, animated with pleats and drapes. Hoods conceal and reveal, framing faces like a portrait of a woman, a portrait of beauty.
Daktari Big Bang Handbag
Body consciousness here means a consciousness of the body, inside its dress, protective and cocooning. It is also a consciousness and reflection of femininity, clothes shaped to mirror the topography of the female form through curves and padding, through layers that act like an armour to shield.
Midnight Blue Premier Handbag
Your body is yours.
Fuschia Premier Handbag
The message is about singularity, individuality, the eternal strength and resilience of women, empowering them through their clothes. That always inspired Azzedine, and it always inspires me - the strength of beauty.
Much love,
Pieter Mulier
