Azzedine Alaïa, of sculpted silence

In 2003, Azzedine Alaïa presented a haute couture collection that marked a turning point in his career. Presented at Rue de la Verrerie under a glass roof, the sumptuous collection showcased the couturier's technical excellence and craftsmanship, marking a new period in his career at the height of his virtuosity.

The collection, including both haute couture and ready-to-wear models, will be on display alongside archive documents, press articles, photos, and videos that chronicled the resounding success of this major fashion show.

GUIDED TOURS OF THE EXHIBITIONS

The Foundation offers guided tours of the current exhibition at 18 rue de la Verrerie in partnership with the cultural mediation agency Des Mots et des Arts  which organizes tours led by professionals specializing in fashion history. They offer visitors an overview of the current exhibition, the life and work of Azzedine Alaïa, as well as the location’s history and architecture.
