It is a well-known fact that Alaïa was not only a talented designer but also a passionate collector of fashion items that he has been collecting throughout his life. Its collection numbers thousands of exhibits, including unique pieces of the last century by Madame Grès, Dior, Chanel, Schiaparelli, as well as by the beloved Balenciaga brand.

 

 

The reopened exhibition coincides with the publication of an original catalog, "Alaïa and Balenciaga, sculptors of shape" by Miren Arzalluz, by Laurence Benaïm, Gaspard de Massé, and Olivier Saillard. Inside the book, you will find the summary analysis of the Alaïa and Balenciaga works as well as some historical facts about their careers accompanied by the many photographs of the exhibited garments.
