    • Description

      Documented Alaïa runway dress featuring a structured blazer-inspired silhouette with button front closure and a waist tie that cinches like a corset. A striking hybrid of blazer, corset, and dress in one sculpted piece.

      Size: No size tag, estimated fit for a size 2-4 

      Condition: in good condition. 

      Additional Info: An iconic corset-inspired design that holds an important place in Alaïa’s legacy. During the Fall 1988 runway show, Azzedine Alaïa’s muse Naomi Campbell modeled the jumpsuit version. The design was later featured in a major retrospective at the Fondation Azzedine Alaïa, while a dress with the same corset-style lacing is housed in the permanent collection of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

      With vintage and pre-loved pieces, gentle signs of wear are part of their character and charm. Each item is carefully inspected by The Higher End; however, light signs of wear may be present, reflecting the unique history and nature of vintage and pre-owned pieces.
