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.
