{"title":"AZZEDINE ALAÏA","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAzzedine Alaïa opened his Paris atelier in the 1970s and debuted his first ready-to-wear collection in 1981. His collections were notoriously exclusive and held in intimate settings, which only increased the mystery surrounding the Alaïa brand. His designs are instantly recognisable with their tight fit, curved lines, precise seaming and preoccupation with knitwear, all designed to reveal the body rather than conceal it. By the time of his death in 2017, he had established himself as not only a visionary, but also one of the most talented fashion designers of all time. This collection forms part of Circa’s designer archive, featuring archival vintage and museum-quality fashion pieces from the house of Alaïa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"1980s-alaiia-red-knitted-dress","title":"1990s Alaia Red Knitted Body Con Dress","description":"This red knitted mini dress is from the renowned 1991 collection and completely emblematic of Azzedine Alaia's sleek and heavily seamed bodycon styles.

The shaping on the waist and bust creates a very flattering shape, with seams running across the front and vertically from the waist.
