Azzedine Alaia Knit Dress

It's a dream for me to get to offer this stunning knit dress by Azzedine Alaia. made of 100% of the softest new wool. Pale yellow. Own a piece of fashion History. 

Fits like: xs/s

• Bust: up to 34"
• Waist: 20-28
• Hips: 34-40"

Condition: very good overall. Very minor pilling. a few small marks as shown. these are very much factored into the price (comparable pieces are online for $800-1200). I was too nervous to even hand wash this dress but the small marks may come out with a very experienced dry cleaner. 

Alaïa's designs were known for their very tight fit, deft tailoring, curve-accenting seaming, leather work, and inventive use of knits. The colors he favored tended to the somber, mostly neutrals and earthtones, his masterful cut and blatant body promotion carrying the impact. In his early years on his own, he favored the broad shoulders that were part of the revival of 1940s styles begun on an industry-wide scale in 1978 and famously exaggerated by his friends Thierry Mugler and Claude Montana. His body emphasis outdid that of his colleagues, though, becoming his signature.Though he mostly relied on fit, cut, and seaming to reveal the body, by the early nineties he was incorporating corselets and bust wiring.
