  • 1992 Azzedine Alaia Runway Striped Stretch Knit Cold-Shoulder Bodycon Mini Dress

    ID: 1020242
    Size: small
    Condition: excellent

     

    An iconic and absolutely breathtaking Azzedine Alaia black and white striped stretch knit bodycon mini dress from his epic 1992 spring/summer collection. This well-documented look was featured on Fran Drescher as The Nanny and in a stunning editorial with Christy Turlington. Alaïa introduced the world to the 'body' and to his own skin tight dresses. Truly a showcase for the perfect human form, his bodycon look sat alongside the more masculine power suits of the decade. As Suzy Menkes said, "If there were any justice in this fashion world, Azzedine Alaïa would be a worldwide household name, instead of a cult hero. He defined the way an entire generation dresses and become the fashion revolution of the last decade." His trademark second skin dressing earned him the nickname of 'The King of Cling', thanks to his love and experimentation of uncompromising stretch fabrics. These were materials which he would fashion into almost perfect body stockings from a trade he learned years back during his time spent with an array of great couturiers that he not only studied under, but greatly admired; namely Charles James, Madeleine Vionnet and Cristobal Balenciaga.
    This seductive hourglass mini dress is a perfect example of his genius.  It is made from a mid-weight slinky spandex cotton blend in a bold black and white striped pattern. The fabric has fantastic stretch that hugs and molds to your body to help create smooth lines. As with all Azzedine Alaia pieces, this dress is cut to hug and highlight your every curve. The low cut cold-shoulder plunge bodice creates great cleavage as well. Such a flattering and truly timeless look.
