Alaïa initially sparked a footwear revolution with its mesh flats, transforming the way fashion houses approached the Mary Jane silhouette, but the renowned label hasn’t rested on its laurels. This iteration features crocodile-embossed leather frames for the fishnet uppers, introducing an irreverent, rock ‘n’ roll edge.

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.
