Since 1964, Alaïa is a Parisian Fashion Maison, with a Couture soul and a timeless sense of beauty.
Azzedine Alaïa, a legendary master of cut, changed the look of fashion in the 80’s with his sculptural silhouettes. Today, the Belgian Creative Director Pieter Mulier, perpetuates his quest of perfection and modernity, sharing the same technical skills and passion for arts. Shape driven creations and iconic knits are sculpted on the body, crafting unique interpretations of the free beauty of women.

“I make clothes;

women make fashion”
