From 11 December 2011 to 6 May 2012, the Groninger Museum will present the exhibition entitled Azzedine Alaïa in the 21st century. This exhibition displays the most fantastic Alaïa fashion creations of the last ten years. Azzedine Alaïa is one of the last major living couturiers.
The exhibition, curated by Mark Wilson, focuses on Alaïa’s work in the 21st century. It is the sequel to the presentation of his designs from previous decades, also shown at the Groninger Museum in 1997-1998, and which subsequently travelled to the Brant Foundation, Guggenheim Soho in New York in 2000.
A monograph ‘Azzedine Alaïa in the 21st Century’ will be published by BAI and the Groninger Museum with an essay by Annie Cohen-Solal and introduction by Mark Wilson. Tunisian-born Azzedine Alaïa is one of the most important fashion designers of the last decades. The name Alaïa stands for glamour, sensuality, style, cut, self-confidence, comfort and, of course, sex appeal. His tight dresses embrace the bodies of the world’s most seductive and successful women.
During the exhibition period, the Groninger Museum will organize special step-in guided tours on the theme of Azzedine Alaïa in the 21st century. More information on the activities can be found at www.groningermuseum.nl

The prestigious Les Arts Decoratifs museum in the Louvre presents a new exhibition of fashion from the years 1990s & 2000s as a retrospective of this groundbreaking period of design – a time when the internet, economic conditions & world affairs began to radically influence the expression of fashion designers across the globe.
Beginning in the early 1990s, the exhibition trawls the archives of many of the ‘avant-garde’ pioneers whose houses still remain today – standing as bastions of their iconic, archetypal aesthetics. The wares of Azzedine Alaia, Rei Kawakubo at Comme des Garcons & Jean Paul Gaultier are just some of the many names on show – each piece carefully chosen as a testament to the vision of these willingly provocative & surprising creators.
