Alaïa is a revered Parisian fashion house founded by Tunisian-born designer Azzedine Alaïa in the late 1970s. Globally recognized for its meticulous craftsmanship and sculptural approach to design, Alaïa earned a cult following for clothing that celebrates the female form with precision, strength, and sensuality. Known as the "King of Cling," Azzedine Alaïa mastered body-conscious silhouettes through expert tailoring, innovative use of stretch materials, and architectural cuts that have defined his timeless aesthetic. Originally rooted in haute couture and artisanal techniques, the house of Alaïa quickly expanded into ready-to-wear, leather goods, and footwear, maintaining a discreet yet powerful presence in the fashion world.
