Today, we travelled for a very special intimate showing of the new Alaïa collection by Pieter Mulier in his spectacular home designed by the amazing architect Glenn Sestig, that he shares with the equally brilliant Matthieu Blazy. The intimacy of this gesture really resonated with me having know Azzedine for almost 20 years. It felt like something that really was important to the man and the house, and that Pieter has managed to replicate and grow today by continuing to create his community, his family, full of love and respect for his artisans and their craft.
The collection was spectacular in its concise vision, seen in every element of the pieces that populated the catwalk. The deft tailoring was razor sharp. The pin detailing became the embellishment on the pieces, which felt like such a clever way to trace the outline of the body, and the mesh patent coat was a personal favourite. It really filled my heart with joy to see such beauty, done in such a personal way. Congratulations Pieter for taking the baton forward with respect, love and modernity without compromising the codes of the house.
