ALAIA

Alaïa's coats are cut close through the waist and generous below it, and this one keeps to that in bonded cotton poplin. The double-breasted front carries wide notched lapels and tortoiseshell-effect buttons, while the skirt falls to an asymmetric hem that curves up at the sides. The bonded cloth holds that hem in shape without a crease.

Alaïa's tailoring follows the line of the body, and this skirt holds to it from waist to ankle. Cut from light wool in black, it runs in long panel seams below a smooth yoke, with two deep pockets set proud at the hip. Those pockets give the column its only width.

Alaïa gives the poplin shirt a sculpted flare. In black cotton, panel seams run from the shoulder and open into an A-line that falls past the hip, finished with a long pointed collar, a concealed placket and deep cuffs. Worn over slim pants, the hem swings as it moves.

Alaïa's Le Teckel at its longest and lowest: a narrow clutch in dalia pink suede, carried by two short rolled handles caught together by a leather loop. A double zip runs the length of the top, with the Alaïa signature in gold on the front and again on the hanging tag.

The smallest Mina, in cerise haircalf cut through with Alaïa's Vienne pattern, the openwork the house draws from lace and moucharabieh screens. A scalloped rim, smooth leather handles and a detachable shoulder strap complete it, with gold-toned feet underneath. The short hair gives the red a soft, velvety depth that plain leather would not.

Alaïa's Mina tote carries the Vienne pattern, the house openwork inspired by lace and moucharabieh screens, cut through its whole body and finished in a scalloped top edge. At 37cm it is the largest of the family, in chocolate haircalf with smooth leather handles and gold-toned feet. On the shoulder, it brings the house's lacework to an everyday scale.

Alaïa cuts the Vienne belt's perforation from a pattern inspired by precious lace and moucharabieh screens, worked deep and scalloped through black calfskin. A thin buckle closes it at centre front. Structural rather than decorative, it reads as armour softened into lacework.

The Vienne pattern, drawn from lace and moucharabieh screens, is Alaïa's signature openwork, and here it is cut through black suede from toe to collar. Elastic gussets make it a Chelsea boot; a pointed toe and a 100mm curved stiletto make it an evening one. A pull loop sits at the back.
