EXCLUSIVE: ALAÏA @ANTONIA SANT’ANDREA

 A rainbow of pretty spring hues sweeps over Antonia Sant’Andrea, which dedicates ample space and windows to an exclusive new collection by Alaïa during the Salone del Mobile furniture fair. Antonia is the only multi-brand worldwide to carry this special selection, which will be on display from April 16-18, in-store and online.

Comprising an iconic form-fitting sheer dress and a funnel-necked body suit in shades that veer from cream to red to wisteria, each look is completed with the signature Teckel bag in matching hues for a studied tonal coolness.
For the occasion, Maison Alaïa introduces Dialogue, a new series of artistic and cultural projects directed by Pieter Mulier. The project aims to slow down and explore fashion's possibilities by inviting it to engage in a dialogue with other creative forms.
“I have always wanted Alaïa to represent more than just clothes. And this is how Azzedine looked at Alaïa. He was such a visionary, that from the very start, he imagined Alaïa as a whole. As a space where fashion opens up to art and beauty. And this vision remains today. Because I believe that fashion only makes sense if it connects with its time. With the world,” says Pieter Mulier, creative director.
Dialogue 1 takes place at Crazy Horse Paris, the legendary cabaret that fascinates Mulier and for whom it represents a unique art form. The cabaret also holds a special place in Azzedine Alaïa’s personal history as the designer created stage costumes for its dancers in 1979. The range of colors recounts the endless possibilities of a garment, giving it a sense of rhythm, musicality, and movement. Because, above all, Maison Alaïa is a house in motion.
