Azzedine Alaïa Book

Discover the unparalleled allure of Azzedine Alaïa’s extraordinary fashion collection, with many pieces showcased for the first time ever.

Azzedine Alaïa (1935–2017) was celebrated not only as a visionary fashion designer but also as a passionate collector of vintage couture. Now, the Palais Galliera in Paris presents a landmark exhibition revealing the extensive collection he carefully curated over decades, inspired by his profound appreciation for the history of haute couture and his commitment to preserving its legacy.

Amassed in complete secrecy and hidden from view during his lifetime, this exquisite collection spans the timeless sophistication of 19th-century icons like Jacques Doucet and the House of Worth, through the defining designs of 20th-century legends including Chanel, Balenciaga, Dior, and Schiaparelli, to the bold creations of modern innovators such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen.
