Alaïa

Everyone knows the Tunisian couturier Azzedine Alaïa for his clothes. High-profile power women such as Naomi Campbell, Carine Roitfeld, and Michelle Obama have been wearing his figure-flattering, clingy, swingy knit dresses and goddess gowns since 1979. After working for Guy Laroche and Christian Dior, Alaïa first hung out a shingle at a tiny apartment on the rue de Bellechasse in Paris. He's been making history in the fashion world ever since.
