Azzedine Alaia is known as the “King of Cling.” His graphic, sexy vision helped define ‘80s fashion. The key elements of ’80s fashion - strong shoulders and body conscious dressing - are back. This vintage dress was from Linda Dresner, one of NYC’s most fashion forward boutiques in the ‘80s. It is classic Alaia – black wool knit, sexy seaming, strong shoulders.

We’ve illustrated this post with a photo of a teenaged Naomi Campbell in 1989. It is from an Azzedine Alaia/French Vogue editorial by Peter Lindbergh. Naomi and Alaia are very close. She considers him to be a father figure.
