Alaïa S/S 2026 Paris

[brandon J pierre]

Those fringe stockings are absolutely horrible. All I could think about is a christmas story from my childhood. He said he hate fringe and then used the everywhere. I hate thats runway way to. very next top model

Donatella doesn’t own the brand. So we are as unsure of Vitale staying or leaving as we are of Pieter leaving (giving the latests whispers).
The Prada bought the brand and Capri appointed Vitale. It’s on them. But if he has the support of Donatella, great!

That vitale is cute I give him that,

Are you guys sure

I heard from friends at MFW that his collection wasn’t received well at all by buyers and, quite frankly, was a flop. So Prada will react quickly as he (involuntarily) proved them that Capri made wrong choice promoting him to CD without consulting it with Prada suits. I bet PM will be installed by the end of the year.

what other choice would they have? How can you sale a collection like that ? They should have not let him put on that show. Makes more Confusion for the brand.

And me? Setting foot in a Versace store for the first time in 15 years… don’t they want new customers ?
That’s the most irritating piece of news.

I didn't like his collection, but the idea of Pieter at Versace is ridiculous. This man is the antithesis of everything Versace stands for. He is completely incapable of expressing sensuality and eroticism through the clothes or playing with bad taste. I would rather give Dario a second chance than see Mulier send out models looking like modern art sculptures. He is too cold and serious for an Italian house.

 

[RedSmokeRise]

I like his work but it’s not correct for where he’s employed at. Every collection feels like he strays further and further …

From what I was told, expect him to allegedly leave early 2026.

Initial whispers during MFW was that he'd head to YSL and Vacarello would take Versace but now the PM at Versace scenario seems more likely according to industry chatters.

We'll see. He did a good job at Alaia, I wonder who they'd replace him with.

Apparently the Alaïa woman doesn't need her hands to get what she wants.

thanks for the gossips, but PM at YSL or Versace does not make it any better.
What’s next , Raf at Tom Ford ?

^ Don't shoot the messenger, dear @yslforever

 

[tricotineacetat]

Are they still selling fit-and-flare knit dresses like hot cake so that he can put on shows like that with clothes nobody will wear? I haven‘t seen such contrived nonsense in a while*…

*oh wait, there was his previous collection already

 

[andrew]

I hope for the wearer's sake there's a little flap at the back of those body socks

 

[Alquimista]

His design is so tortured he makes Roseberry seems like Armani in comparison

 

[Kanzai]

^^^The more I look at this collection, the more I like it. Say it as a no1 Armani fan, sorry not sorry.

I would never shoot someone, I will dress them in Ungaro 😂
But it’s still very irritating that the only one who came with a debated and daring reset within the codes of a house cannot have more than one shot.

Mr Alaia is turning in his grave

 

[THD96]

What is the goal he wants to achieve at Maison Alaïa? Because season after season he just sent out the most questionable silhouettes and expected the crowd to eat it up.
It looks like he is on a mission to be the antithesis of everything Azzedine stands for. He clearly doesn't care about the way Azzedine talks, creates or cares about the female forms.

Please go and get that promotion to the house that you want and leave Alaïa alone, I don't want Alaïa clients to be remembered as fashion victims.

You can still be a client lol.
He will likely design a prefall and maybe a FW. You can buy the SS collection by January ahaha.

They do, I bought an Alaia dress last year which was basically old Azzedine silhouette. But its almost totally detached from what Pieter does…With lurex and the whole thing, even the cut is classic Azzedine.
I wonder if its not a separate edit of « essentials » in a way.

But I don’t think the people who discovered Alaia with Pieter are noticing the difference or particularly looking for that. Maybe longtime Azzedine clients or fan of the brand (like me).
