The cinched waist is more than a flattering detail at Alaïa. It traces back to Azzedine Alaïa’s breakthrough in the early '80s, when his complex cutting and construction moulded clothes closely around the body, often exaggerating the contrast between broader shoulders and a narrow waist. This double-breasted blazer brings that signature into classic tailoring, using light wool, strong peak lapels and horn buttons to frame its sharply drawn hourglass shape.
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.
It's the throw-on layer that sharpens up jeans and pretty dresses alike, at home with t-shirts or cami tops, blouses or turtlenecks. One jacket, multiple outfits - easy style win.
