Alaïa’s Creative Director Pieter Muller for Summer Fall Archetypes Collection delve into the exploration behind the meaning of Alaïa. Distilling “The essence, the essential. Purity, simplicity, directness,” Muller translated those words into the garments of Alaïa and the relation to the female form. Model Anna Ewers is wearing featured pieces from the Archetypes Collection like the Cotton Belted Trench, Vienne Cross Body, Draped Jersey Dress, 3D Flare Waffle Pant, Sculpting Jersey Bra with the Khaima Bag. There’s a ton of versatile looks raging from sensual, sporty, sophisticated, and unapologetic boldness.
“A notion of sculpture through clothing, of carving shape from cloth, of couturier as bâtisseur – or builder – crafting garments around the body. Methodologies of construction become means of decoration, concrete translated to decoration, a humble dressmaker’s pin can become sublime.” –Alaïa

So much has happened since last year. From gracing the cover of British Vogue, closing for Fendi, and even announcing a book with Steven Meisel, Linda Evangelista’s legendary impact on the world of fashion is always felt. You know, grow up watching all these highlights, hearing all these stories of great people who changed our world, and it kind of makes you sad because you weren’t there to see it, so to see Linda on the cover of Vogue or closing for a brand like Fendi means a lot and I feel so fortunate to be able see the greatness of Linda Evangelista.
There aren’t enough superlatives or honors I can throw her way, or kind words I can say. The world is that much brighter, creative, and fun because of Linda Evangelista. You’re truly something special, always iconic, and genuine gift to the world. Happy Birthday Linda Evangelista. Always wishing you infinite happiness and love.
Lady, lady, lady For the rest of our lives, yeah Can you take forever ’til the end of our time? Lady, lady, say you’ll be mine Always, my lady For the rest of our lives

You told me everything would be cool Said I wouldn’t always feel blue How come I feel like a wreck How come the skies are all gray How come my eyes are all red Why am I alone in bed
You told me everything would be fine Why am I losing my mind How come I feel like a fool Why do I keep losing you Why do I love in despair When you’re not there

I would engage the world as my ally I would engage the world Against jealous fear and bitter ambition That only aspires to the done and the dead
I went down to the sea Don’t care if you don’t believe me It spoke to me about my life It spoke with the voice of reason It told me to risk it all with the chance of nothing returned
Isn’t that the task of love? Isn’t that the challenge of love today?

Please, will an angel come over to hold up my shoulders And help me back on my feet? Or put your money in the payphone Tell them you’re running Blowing up in a big way Putting on make-up Changing your name Now you’re standing in the shadows Or for whomever is paying Sonny, you’re a big shot now Sonny, when you come down, how you gonna count?
