Alaïa/Grès. Beyond fashion

Catalogue published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Azzedine Alaïa Foundation, bringing together the works of Madame Grès and Azzedine Alaïa. 

United by their formal principles, their cutting techniques, and the harmonious combinations of fabric and colors they commonly embraced, the evening gowns and day dresses by both couturiers invite visitors to a lesson beyond fashion. Timeless for one, and outside of time for the other, the exhibited creations, totaling 60, restore the dialogue between Grès and Alaïa, two solitary and determined individuals who became sculptors of dresses.
