Beauty beyond fashion

Alaïa’s quest for beauty is made possible by the unique savoir-faire of the ateliers. The Maison’s exclusive knitting technique allows to underline the body, as a second skin. Leather is a core material for ready to wear creations and iconic accessories.

Denim is transformed into a noble art and poplin draws refined forms. Alaïa’s tailoring highlights the silhouette’s purity. Embellishments, such as the iconic vienne pattern, studs and eyelets, are also part of Alaïa’s signature.
