In long velvet dresses, extravagant jeans, and white feathers, Ala&iuml;a's Fall/Winter 2022 collection reveals a new side of Pieter Mulier.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/alaia-spring-summer-2022-pieter-mulier-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ala&iuml;a</a>'s fashion show for the Fall/Winter 2022 collection is a crescendo of emotions. From the first dress on the catwalk challenging the rules of black, it is transformed into surprising pieces. White, black, and nude are the masters but there is no lack of color peaks, feathers, and jumpsuits with dangerous transparencies. The presence of jeans also does not disappoint, which is maxi, fluffy, voluminous and recalls the Spanish-inspired skirts of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/azzedine-alaia-archival-collection-the-editions-naomi-campbell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Azzedine Ala&iuml;a</a>.
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pieter-mulier-new-creative-director-azzedine-alaia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pieter Mulier</a> has raised the bar, has concentrated all his strength on the beauty of the clothes, abandoning himself more to his personal taste (which translates into sartorial excellence and invisible stitching). It's the encounter between the poetics and heritage of the Maison and the tastes of the creative director. It is a celebration of beauty, without too many words. It is the business card for the new generations, who have not grown up with the myth of Azzedine and his muse, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/naomi-campbell-most-iconic-90s-catwalk-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi Campbell</a>.

The silhouettes are fascinating and numerous: they embrace the body-transforming themselves into fluffy flounces, single-leg jumpsuits, and mermaid hems. Knitted dresses that cover the face are the final gem: in collaboration with the Picasso Foundation, they interpreted the ceramics created by the artist in the 1940s through impressive embroideries that transformed the models' bodies into optical illusions. Like goddesses, the models capture the attention of the public by parading cold in their abides of immutable beauty. Each look has a surprising detail that showcases Mulier's distinct sense of style.
Directly from the men's wardrobe, minimal-cut oversized blazers, fur sleeveless jackets reminiscent of a distant animalier effect, tight-fitting leather coats, and black and white wool capes are fused into the Ala&iuml;a universe. Bold and extremely feminine, the collection was applauded, appreciated, and loved. Mulier received a standing ovation. Now the ball goes to him, will Gen Z have the extra quelque chose to fall in love with this historic Maison?
