French-Tunisian fashion designerAzzedine Alaïa (French: [azedin alaja]; Arabic: عز الدين عليّة, romanized: ʿIzz ad-Dīn ʿAlayya, pronounced [ʕizz adˈdiːn ʕaˈlajja]; 26 February 1935 – 18 November 2017) was a Tunisian couturier and shoe designer, particularly successful beginning in the 1980s.

Azzedine Alaïa Ten years after the major retrospective devoted to him at the Palais Galliera, Azzedine Alaïa (1935-2017) is back in the spotlight with an exhibition showcasing the remarkable heritage collection he amassed over the years, and which has never been exhibited before.
- He understood the female body. Alaïa moulded his clothes to the female form, designing around the woman’s body. He sculpted his work to a Rodin level of craftsmanship (Alaïa himself trained as a sculptor), never losing shape of how his work would look on a woman – fit and flare shapes and nipped-in waists are key signatures.
- He was the first to reject the traditional show schedule. Alaïa has always beat to the sound of his own drum. Light years before the See Now Buy Now concept was established (in which collections become available immediately after the show), he abandoned the show schedule, refusing to the industry’s expectations and indeed passing trends.
- He was a consummate craftsman. Few designers of Alaïa’s level still cut their own clothing patterns, sew samples and conduct fittings, but the Tunisian designer never stopped using a needle and thread.
- Alaïa dresses are immune to aging. The phrases “timelessness’ and “investment pieces” are bandied around a lot in fashion, but Alaïa’s work is truly deserving of both.
