Within the revolution in clothing fashions that has been going on continuously since the beginning of the twentieth century, knitwear has played a fundamental role in dressing. Azzedine Alaïa ranks up front among the great names in design, for his unequalled contributions to developments in style, color and materials.

Azzedine Alaïa has shaped the female body with his knits, by trying out new shapes that earlier only would have seemed feasible in a tailor shop and by creating exceptional new interpretations of the fibers, combining extrovert exuberance with the most fascinating and sensuous styling.
With this exhibit Lineapiù wishes to pay tribute to Alaïa’s artistic creativity and expressive skills, his grat talent in developing innovative yarns and his contribution to the evolution of tastes in the fashion world in general and his knitwear in particular.
