Story & heritage
Fondation Azzedine Alaïa’s The Couturier exhibition names the stretch body among the outstanding examples of Alaïa’s craft. The current cross-front knit bodysuit keeps that body-focused language in the official ready-to-wear line.
Materials & craft
The official bodysuit is made in Italy in compact knit with a halter neckline, front criss-cross construction, sleeveless fitted cut, snap closure, and a silk/polyamide/viscose blend with elastane.

How to choose & style
Treat it as a fitted foundation piece: balance the sculpted top with a full skirt, high-waist trouser, or Le Mina tote for a line that feels controlled rather than tight.
