About this title

Synopsis

Unveiling Azzedine Ala�a’s story before his milestone 1982 show, this book offers a never-before-seen look into one of fashion’s most enigmatic icons.

Azzedine Ala�a (1935–2017) was regarded as a contemporary fashion genius. Edited by his closest friend, Carla Sozzani, this new volume presents an unprecedented view into Ala�a’s early life and career, from his native Tunisia and 1956 arrival in Paris to his breakthrough 1982 New York show.

From apprenticeships to encounters with Paris’s creative and society crowds, this book pays homage to Ala�a’s evolution. Chronological chapters depict a designer devoted to his work while enjoying friendships with such individuals as Arletty, Louise de Vilmorin, C�sar, Andr�e Putman, and Thierry Mugler. Quotes by Ala�a accompany gorgeous photographs of iconic dresses and lesser-known designs, providing captivating stories behind the inspirations for his creations. Interviews share intimate anecdotes from Serge Lutens, Edgar Morin, Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, Marie Rucki, and more. Accompanying an exhibition at the Azzedine Ala�a Foundation, this unique publication delves into rare archival materials, private photographs, and prominent publications to powerfully illustrate the fascinating journey of a fashion legend.
