Alaia is not just about a fantastic body, it is really about a body you believe in. Somewhere between then and now, cosmetic surgery has reshaped every woman that wants it and can afford it but a vintage Alaia body wasn't altered much. The women who wore Alaia were perfect -and- imperfect but they all felt good in their own skin. Look at Dianne Brill - she was a Robert Crumb-edque blow-up doll and fabulous with hips tummy and overflowing boobs. Because Dianne believed. Dianne had someone put a hand on her forehead in Charivari and proclaim, "I believe!". Do you? Well, you should. Alaia is actually quite easy to wear too. His fabrics were luxe, not thin and shiny. It stretched because it was knit, not because it was lycra. A bit more luxe than usual because whites and all their variations are more high-maintenance to care for. Something Courreges also understood. High-waisted vanilla wool knit with a seam that runs up the back like a pair of 40's stockings. An Alaia XS, which translates to a modern 4 or tiny 6. Length 26", it is in flawless unworn condition with original hangtags. $445.00 |
