Before the Paris collections ended, I stopped by Azzedine Alaia’s place to see what he was preparing for fall. I found him upstairs in the studio, which consists of many racks of samples and dress patterns, stacks of shoe boxes, ironing boards and, at the far end, near a huge mirror, his ample work table. Alaia offered me a chair next to the table. A number of writers had trooped by over the weekend and we probably all had the same thought: Gee, what a fantastic way to look at clothes.

LOVE the look of the ruffles on the coat and dress.

its so gorgeous! hate the zebra shoes but everything else is just stunning. that coat-dress with what i think is a trompe l'oeil lace print and the take on the baroque ruff in that white coat are beautiful pieces.

Those coats are to die for

well, it's a fashion show, the really old fashioned way.

i also think it smarter to let people concentrate on the clothes and less on the makeup and hair and all that model talk.

Amazing collection. I also think it would rather astonishing to be able to go into his studio and view the collection this intimately like the press has done.
