Rare collector 2003 Haute Couture Alaïa Gown. As seen on the Alaïa runway and worn by the fabulous Grace Jones in a sleeveless version, this dress is the epitome of dramatic elegance.
It’s part of the posthumous 2018 'Je Suis Couturier' exhibit, celebrating the most iconic Alaïa creations - a piece of fashion history.
The dress features meticulously placed seams that spiral around the body, opening into a stunning mermaid-style asymmetric skirt. Inspired by 1930s siren silhouettes, it enhances the derrière masterfully, a testament to the brands belief that the woman’s bottom is the most interesting aspect.
Originally created in 1981 and reimagined in 2003, this timeless piece, first inspired by French film legend Arletty, has evolved into the ultimate modern little black dress—bold, flattering, and effortlessly chic.
