Overview
- At Paris Fashion Week, Mulier presented a restrained swan song rooted in Alaïa signatures, from clinging tank dresses and precision tailoring to velvet suiting and densely ruffled skirts.
- He dedicated the show to the atelier, commissioning Keizo Kitajima portraits of staff and placing a hardcover book of those images on each seat.
- The packed room rose for an emotional standing ovation, with Raf Simons and Matthieu Blazy among the high-profile attendees.
- Mulier said he kept the collection calm to return to the house’s roots, emphasizing precision and calling a perfectly cut jacket the definition of real luxury.
- Alaïa stated its studio will ensure continuity until a new creative organization is set, as Mulier prepares to join Versace on July 1 following the brand’s acquisition by the Prada Group.
