Crinoline-Knit Tank Top

This season at Alaïa, everything old is new again. Once solely an undergarment used to give architectural shape to Victorian garb, the crinoline takes centre stage in unexpected ways across several pieces. Note how this tank top spotlights a knit that mirrors the crinoline's iconic stripes.

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.
