Opening night of “Azzedine Alaïa, De Silence Sculpté” last week at Fondation Alaïa in Paris
Curated by Carla Sozzani, Joe McKenna and Olivier Saillard, this exhibition revisits Alaïa’s 2003 couture collection, after eleven years away from the runway. Presented without spectacle, his garments became manifestos of timeless craftsmanship and precision. Bruce Weber’s photographs capture their quiet power, documenting this pivotal return and its lasting influence on contemporary fashion.
