Though only documented in part here, we can see that Azzedine Alaïa explored texture in this collection. This is best demonstrated on broad-shouldered, nip-waisted jackets with a teddy-bear-like feeling. Rose and flower intarsias added a feminine touch, but tailoring drove this collection. Though Alaïa was known for celebrating the female form, he did so in different ways. The tomboy aesthetic was one that he explored, and he often played with the contrast of cutting menswear fabrics into curvy silhouettes.
