The current exhibition celebrates the extraordinary creative complicity that has united Azzedine Alaïa and Thierry Mugler over the decades. Their collaboration, founded on generosity, respect and a profound spirit of solidarity, gave birth to a veritable explosion of creativity and imagination. Through their collections, these two masters of fashion have demonstrated that art reaches its peak when it is born of encounter, sharing and friendship.
We invite you to revisit the highlights of this artistic friendship and explore the impact it has had on the history of contemporary fashion. We'll be delighted to welcome Violeta Sanchez, model and muse, Zaza, Thierry Mugler's historic assistant and Azzedine Alaïa collaborator, Antoine Kruk, illustrator for Thierry Mugler and creator of iconic pieces, Olivier Saillard, Director of the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation and curator of the exhibition and Carla Sozzani, President of the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation.
The meeting will be moderated by Emanuele Coccia.
