DE PROFUNDIS

The @AzzedineAlaiaOfficial #PFW was exclusive with no-digital no-images code. A #FW15 of reagan red .. #redcarpet’s. But here, a #throwback to celebrate #Didine, couturier de #Tunisie, ultimate darling de #Paris, fascinated by #Arletty and by his fraternity cantine-cuisine where he cooks dearly for the #Gaga’s and the #Gabin’s; He who fell in to black melancholy and take no part in today’s calendar à la mode or in any other fashion carnivals. One might say that this 1987 #AzzedineAlaiaofficial, leather zip biker dress is still itself a creation of another era, a time when modélistes and stylistes offered elegiac tours of a lost social l andscape rather than deeply revela tory excavations of #fashion. Perhaps. He has typically a clever, mordant look at the death of couture ( and the sixties), but the solo that he closes is the sound of pure, untethered neoteric joie-à-porter, marking every woman’s body as a mythopoeic sculpture who often dressed better than he knew. #Alaia is the ultimate pretercouturier.
