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 cuts its biker jacket in soft lambskin and fits it close. A curved zip crosses the front from the pointed collar to a hem that rounds away over the hips, seams shape the body through the waist, and the sleeves drop from the shoulder to zipped cuffs, with zips at the sides as well. Made in Italy, it is the house's biker at its most pared back.

Alaïa cuts its biker jacket close, in black cotton denim. A long zip curves across the front from the pointed collar to the hem, where the body rounds away over the hip, and seams run from shoulder to waist to shape it. The hardware is kept to that single zip and small side tabs, so the line does the talking.

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 tailors this single-breasted jacket in a light wool, with wide peak lapels and two horn buttons. Darts draw the waist in tight before the hem flares out over the hip, and the long sleeves stay narrow to the wrist. Made in Italy.

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.
