Alaïa Cotton Knit Tank Mini Dress

After moving from Tunisia to Paris in the 1950s, Azzedine Alaïa built his reputation quietly through private clients before launching Alaïa under his own name in the late 1970s. Unlike many designers of the era, Alaïa worked closely with the construction of each garment himself, becoming especially recognised for knitted pieces that shaped closely to the body without losing movement – a legacy that’s continued to be upheld through pieces like this intricately knitted mini dress.
