Azzedine Alaia has just confirmed that Dior really wants to invite him to be the new creative director.

In the fashion world, there are many conjectures about Dior's next creative director, from repeated Riccado Tisci, Alber Elbaz, Marc Jacobs to some newly appeared names such as Haider Ackerman and Sarah Burton. The only thing that hasn't been talked about is Ackerman. However, he has just confirmed that Dior really wants to invite him to be the new creative director.

But after careful reflection, Dior's approach is understandable. Mr. Azzedine Alaia has always been considered a very influential designer, and the fashion brand he founded has an extraordinary brilliant fashion vision. Apart from that, he is still one of the few designers who have excellent tailoring skills, and the Dior brand just lacks a designer who can serve as a designer of advanced custom clothing series. Most young designers growing up in the age of garment are short of this high-end technology. {page_break}

Azzedine Alaia, known as " King of cling Fashion world Legendary Designer

　　 Azzedine Alaia The legendary designer of fashion called King of cling. Azzedine Alaia was born in Tunisia, not the 4 largest fashion city. He was just 160cm tall and surrounded by 180cm's supermodel beauty. He did not hold fashion releases for a long time, but all the editors of the fashion industry were eager to come to him. In the field of Fashion, which is full of competition, new love, and light trade, designers have only one word for him: admire!

In the 81 year, he held his first season fashion announcement. He was known by ELLE (micro-blog) editor Nicole Crassat for his admiration and was finally known by the whole world from a secret kept well by Paris's upper circle. At that time, influenced by the sexual liberation movement in 70s, following the fashion trend of S-M in the late 70s, the sexy appeal of costume design reached its peak. Alaia cleverly developed this sexy side on a more exaggerated and suppressed development into his design sign: sober, prudent, modern and super sexy. He used leather and elastic cotton to design "second layers of skin" skirt for women. The secret lies in his "tailoring, tailoring or tailoring". He often collages a cloth with more than 40 pieces of precision tailoring cloth, and the principle of tailoring and material is like an ancient corset, tightly tied up and pushed up your body. After countless times of fitting changes and sewing by hand, it can be called sculpture in cloth (after all, he studied sculpture in art school).

In the powerful ELLE network database, when we enter Alaia search, there are Jean-Paul Goude, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindbergh, Gilles Bensimon, Bruce Weber and other names like thunder and thunder. These photographers are all his friends. And even more striking are those with supernatural figures and superstars. These 1 meters more than 8 goddess are always 1 meters tall and 6. {page_break}

Fashion design heterogeneous Azzedine Alaia

At the same time, the two Mousika fashion jewelers of the Dior brand, Camille Miceli and Victoire de Castellane, are often wearing Alaia designs, which may be an important reason for Dior to choose Alaia.

Mr. Alaia is also a character designer. He has always thought that the fashion system needs a lot of changes. The fashion industry should slow down the pace of development, and the new series of fast demand and the large number of shops should be stopped. Many years ago, Mr. Alaia refused to hold a formal fashion show, and only put clothes into stores after his design was completed. Dior brand is also one of the representative brands that advocate slowing down the development speed of fashion system. When John Galliano leaves, brand has been under the pressure of rapid development.

As a result, although Alaia has rarely published fashion in recent years, its position in the fashion industry has not been affected at all. Many famous designers regard him as "Designer of Designers", which affects many people's style. Rivets, metal buckles, tight corsets and sexy snakeskin, aren't these Alaia design elements still appearing on the Jean Paul Gaultier, Dolce&Gabbana, Alexander McQueen and even Prada stage?

Even Rei Kawakubo, who has a different body concept and style of design, is quite different from Alaia Rei. "I always respect Alaia. Because he is designing with his heart and passion. He sticks to his own ideas and never compromises.

Dior brand competitor Richemont owns the majority of Alaia shares, which is another reason. Dior may want to take this opportunity to give Richemont a heavy blow.

But what can not be ignored is that Mr. Alaia is almost 70 years old. Does Bernard Arnault and CEO Sidney Toledano, President of Dior, want to make use of Alaia to transform the Dior brand? If so, this will definitely cause a lot of response in the fashion industry. Every brand wants to find a reason to slow down, but no one wants to be the leader.

But all of this is only speculation. Mr. Alaia said he was not interested in taking over as Dior's creative director. Maybe there are more possibilities. Let's wait and see.
