Azzedine Alaïa created these extravagant pieces for his Fall 1989 collection that were made of an innovative very soft and thick velvet knit that is about an inch thick and would become iconic later on. Incredibly comfortable to wear and warm!
Here we have an ultra-rare, documented jacket from that Alaïa collection whose twin walked the runway as look 56 styled with one of the designer’s form-fitting knit dresses (please see pictures 10 and 11).
The completely unstructured ink-black velvet knit design features a cropped length to rear, long sleeves and an oversized shawl collar that can be used as a short hood. The open front is uniquely designed with elongated panels that can be styled a million ways. It seems quite heavy when you pick it up but feels surprisingly light once you have it on. The jacket is unlined and meant to be worn oversized. The cut will fit a variety of sizes. Tagged “ALAÏA PARIS MADE IN ITALY”.
A wearable and collectible piece of fashion design!
