The difference between a good designer and a bad one has never been an issue of creativity because you can find lots of interesting concepts on the indie designer sites. No, the difference between what you want and what you want to keep is about a cocktail of original design, wearability and superfine quality. Who wants the most clever dress in the whole wide world if it feels like Brillo against your skin? And who wants Paris Hilton's latest thing if it only looks good on Paris Hilton? Alaia was the quintessential marriage of luxurty fabric and practical sexy wearability. Wearability for women with good bodies anyway. But you don't have to be flawless to wear his things - his knits are forgiving and flattering. An excellent foil against all the fabulously busy Comme des Garcons and Dries Van Noten skirts, a black wool bodysuit will keep the buckled, belted, crumpled, layered and printed separates in your closet from turning you into a complete fashion victim. Midweight black wool jersey with signature modified leg o' mutton sleeves and a high zip folded turtleneck. Welted seams vertically and again at the raglan shoulder, it snaps at the crotch with two black snaps. An Alaia XS which trtanslates to a modern 4, it is in excellent condition. $320.00 |
