Azzedine Alaïa showed his collection in Paris on Tuesday night – in his studio as he usually does …
… according to his own schedule, not during fashion week, away from all the top models and drama of the front row. He’s been excusing himself from the obligations of the fashion world for years, and even so, he’s been able to maintain all his influence and importance. His company only keeps growing, and all the while, he remains fiercely independent.
He created a real atmosphere in his studio – a warmth – something special. One of my dreams is to be invited to one of his private dinners where he cooks for his friends… it sounds like the ambiance is amazing.
I just wanted to say it makes me dream, and even if I’ll never have his genius, I hope to be able to follow the same kind of path – creating something great, but intimate, special, and different. And cook for my friends!!!

Effectivement, il règne une ambiance particulière dans la maison de Monsieur Alaïa. J’ai eu la chance de rester à ces côtés pendant une quinzaine de jours. Les mannequins étaient peu maquillés, juste une queue de cheval en guise de coiffure, mais lorsque les filles revêtaient les vêtements et les chaussures de la collection, elles se métamorphosaient. La démarche, l’allure, la maille qui flottait, tout devenait magique. Ensuite, nous mangions dans la grande cuisine de manière informelle. Monsieur Alaïa est drôle, attachant et d’une grande simplicité.
Love the nude coloured dress – lovely!

I usually look at the clothes from the vaunted fashion shows and think, “Ugly, ugly, ugly. Who buys this garbage?” I look at this and think, “Lovely, lovely, love. I wish I could afford it!” This is a designer with talent and a good eye!
He really is a genius. He seems like a man of such substance in a world where many pretend to have insights and talents beyond their true capacities. I actually first learned of him because his showroom was hosting the World Press Photo Exhibit, an incredible collection of international photo journalism (nothing even to do with fashion!).
Pure genius
