Like most geniuses in any art, he designs from his heart and soul and he isn't about chasing the media attention like many other designers. So he doesn't make a collection just to show for fashion weeks. Azzedine Alaia seems to have his own fashion weeks and he shows his collection whenever he's done making it and whenever he feels like showing it. Since he doesn't participate in fashion weeks, I usually search on my own every season, hoping to see may be someone famous is wearing his latest exclusive design. Then I find Rhianna wearing this breathtaking red gown of his:
Then a further search for his 2013 collection, I found the following dress that is very wearable for both work and cocktail parties. I don't know when this dress was designed but Azzedine Alaia's creations are so perfectly stylish that, seasons and timeline are all irrelevant.
Azzedine Alaia dress $3,484
Azzedine Alaia's clothes are said to make the women feel the embrace of men when they wear them. I have no doubt about it even I haven't had the fortune to wear one of Azzedine's creations. Even though my search this season doesn't find me any 2013 Fall Collection that he had done, I find that he is going to have an exhibition in Paris to show the master pieces he had created throughout his years as a fashion designer. While I can't afford to go to Paris any time soon, watching the following video about his exhibition is the next best thing as to actually attending the exhibit.
For those of you who are passionate about fashion design and are wondering what makes a fashion designer a legend, click here to read Azzedine's rare interview and may be you will see that you may have a few things in common with this legendary fashion designer. I already saw that he and I have several things in common...May be I should go buy a sewing machine now and may be I may amaze myself by the stuff that I can make?
What about you, do you ever suspect you may have the talent to become the next great fashion designer?
