"Under the direction of Pieter Mulier, denim has been reframed as a 'second skin,' engineered to hold, shape, and follow the body with the same intent as the maison's famed knits."
"The collection presents six silhouettes: bootcut, straight, skinny, palazzo, fit-and-flare, and the intriguingly titled 'round.' Crafted in Japan, the fabric itself is treated with near-obsessive care."
"Denim has lingered in the brand's orbit since the 1990s, but was never quite the main event, let alone given its own dedicated line, making its arrival feel significant."
Alaïa has launched its first dedicated denim collection, presenting jeans as a 'second skin' that shapes and follows the body. Under Pieter Mulier's direction, the collection features six silhouettes crafted with meticulous attention to detail, including bootcut and skinny styles. The fabric is treated with care, utilizing techniques like rope-dyed indigo and laser work. Denim has been part of Alaïa's offerings since the 1990s, but this collection marks a significant shift in its prominence. Other designers, like Chanel and Erdem, are also embracing denim in innovative ways.
