"ALAÏA"
00s-10s Sculptural high-neck sleeveless maxi dress
From ALAÏA, which has crafted its own aesthetic through meticulous patterning that studies the contours of the body and sculptural forms, we present a standout piece renowned for its sculptural beauty.
By layering the three-dimensional high neck and the crisp, architectural look of metal snaps onto a vertically elongating silhouette shaped by soft materials, this piece carries a distinct presence within an understated, quiet demeanour.
The fabric is made from 100% viscose for quality labeling, offering a supple drape and a subtle sheen that enhances the depth of black. From the broad shoulder line that covers the shoulders, the fabric flows smoothly down to the hem, forming ALAÏA’s refined long silhouette without strongly constricting the body.
At the neckline, a tall collar is designed with drape, and the opening and rise can be adjusted thanks to a series of muted silver-colored snaps. With all snaps fastened, you can enjoy a poised high neck; when opened, you can appreciate the soft expression of the collar. In addition, the sides are fitted with a zipper to support easy on and off. By cinching the waist with the narrow belt, you can shift the look from clean, straight lines to a more defined, shapely form.
The included tag from 10 Corso Como Comme des Garçons reflects the product availability from around 2002 to 2012, when the Tokyo store of the same name was operating. This item can be appreciated as one that conveys the designer distribution of that era. You can also find the Made in Italy label and the S size tag. As such, it offers added value not only for its beauty as a garment, but also in how it allows you to feel the international fashion culture of Tokyo in the 2000s.
While it is a black dress with restrained decoration, the sculpting of the collar, the placement of the snaps, and the silhouette change created by the belt set it apart. It is especially recommended for those who wish to express individuality through form and material rather than ornate design. Of course, you can style it in a dressy manner with heels or polished leather shoes; alternatively, you can remove the belt to make the most of the vertical drape, incorporating it as a minimal everyday piece for a refined finish.
Please take this opportunity to experience, in one exceptional piece, ALAÏA’s aesthetic appreciation for the body and the rare background of its handling.
