Expo&CO - Alaïa before Alaïa - Private Visit (Copie)
Second Visit
Dear Alumni,
We invite you to take part of the private visit of the exhibition "Alaïa before Alaïa "currently presented by the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation on friday, the 15th of april .
“Alaïa before Alaïa” is an unprecedented and original exhibition, conceived and produced by the Foundation wanted by the designer some years before his death.
Through archive documents, photographs and drawings, the exhibition analyses the formative years between the 1950s, just before the budding couturier would leave Tunis and move to Paris, to the early 1980s and the emergence of the Alaïa phenomenon.
A rigorous selection of pieces from the beginning of his career, a selection of designs that revealed to the public something far beyond a singular style, a founding body of work dating from the late 1970s dialogues with timeless clothes, truly an intimate map of his eternal sources of inspiration.
