F[SIZE=-1]inding an [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Alaïa dress marked for $10 by someone without a clue ranks among my greatest and most unthinkable hopes. In the meantime I'll enjoy this thread, which builds my motivation to visit thrift stores, while doing nothing to strengthen my luck...

"Sophie Dahl in vintage Alaia" at the Costume Institute Gala, NY, 2005

Sophie is one of those stylish Brits who can pull off a dress like this beautifully. (Even though the article merely describes it as 'clinging like rubber' )

The new edition of Le Book is Alaia themed, it's got a great illustration of him

The last Alaia creation I ever saw was on Anggun. She wore everything Alaia in her debut album sleeve, Au nom de la lune and Snow on Sahara. She even refused to wear local designer's dress and chose to wear Alaia instead for a magazine photo shoot in Malaysia back in 1999.

On The Street
The Future Arrives From Paris

By BILL CUNNINGHAM

A bold sculptural silhouette cut from black shearling, a coat suggesting the line of a Degas ballerina, was worn for New York Fashion Week by Carine Roitfeld, the editor of French Vogue. It was designed by the Paris couturier Azzedine Alaïa, who ranks among the great architects of fashion. The coat’s leather side has a shimmering patent finish. The inside is dyed black shearling. Ms. Roitfeld accented the coat with black tights and platform ankle boots.

There were thousands of superbly dressed women attending the designer collections, but only Ms. Roitfeld looked like the future.
