  • Suede is traditionally scented with violet and nitrile ingredients, metallic and mineralic, the scent of the sturdiest materials available, of stone and steel.
  • Azzedine Alaïa worked leather as if it were satin, molding it into hourglass shapes that communicated power, strength, and sexual allure.
  • Azzedine Alaïa prized velvet for its lustrous surface and tactility, for its innate ability to hide a complex web of seams in its pile, and for its connections to the richness of the past.
  • Testing the inherent properties of materials was an obsession for Azzedine Alaïa.
