For the W’s Music Issue Volume Three, Christopher Bollen ruminates of late legendary Tunisian designer Azzedine Alaïa and the future of the Alaïa brand after the desinger and founder’s passing. Luckily the student of architecture and new creative director of Pieter Mulier, answered Bollen’s lingering question of the outlook of Alaïa in Mulier’s more than capable hands, emphasizing the Alaïa’s ideals around body consciousness and the beauty of imperfection. The model Raquel Zimmermann for the issue dons pieces from Alaïa’ Fall 2022 Collection with its theme of “a dedication to craft, and to clothing as sculpture, exploration of silhouette, experiment in form.” Sources: W Magazine and Maison-Alaia
