Asymmetric Pipe Midi Dress

Expectations for Alaïa's Spring/Summer 2025 collection were understandably high as guests descended on New York's iconic Guggenheim gallery - and as this asymmetric Pipe dress waltzed into view, spectators were all suitably pleased. Its distinct ‘pipe' detailing seamlessly marries themes of American industrialism with the delicate artistry of fine jewellery, securing onto the dress's side like a bracelet hinge.

The legendary Paris fashion house was founded in the sixties and by the 1980s, Tunisian sculptor and couturier, Azzedine Alaïa’s powerful, feminine silhouettes were revered worldwide. Today, his legacy prevails in dresses and ready to wear, shoes and bags, including the cult La Coeur heart bag.
