'(HQ) Azzedine Alaïa retrospective 1980-1985 | Original Soundtrack'

'The exhibition \'Fashion 1980 -1985: A day with Azzedine Alaia\' is presented at the CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux, directed by Jean-Louis Froment. Alaia\'s creations are shown together with works by artist Dan Flavin. Jean-Louis Froment was the first curator to invite Alaia to show his work in a French Museum and the mutual admiration that the two shared led to a long-lasting friendship.   It is the first event of this magnitude that the Couturier participates in, presenting in a runway show the quintessence of five years of work, designs featuring structured lines and shapes that dominated the aesthetic of the 1980’s.   To a soundtrack mixing traditional french songs and english songs, 29 models walked down the runway beneath the vaults of the Lainé warehouses. The focus is placed on details such as zips, on leather, or on chiffon; beige, black, navy or taupe, skirts are skin-tight and the waist is nipped in. Long evening dresses, furs, leathers reworked with metal, Azzedine Alaïa structures his garments using as the foundations all the lines of the female body.'
