I don’t like Peter’s Alaïa anyway lol. I bought an Alaïa dress earlier this year but it was the styles of Azzedine that are still renewing (thank god).
I personally think that across a lot of brands, people forget that the essence is the woman/man.
I have a lot of girlfriends who loves new Alaïa. For me, something is missing and it’s the idea of a woman. Making very impressive sexy clothes is not interesting to me.
I wish designers though more about the women or men they are dressing, the intention of the founders and things like that. There’s always a duality.
Naomi Campbell is not a good dresser but she never looked bad in Alaïa. She started to look questionable in Alaïa when Pieter joined.
I want to like his work because he seems very likeable but I can’t. It’s just too hard lol
