The visual dialogue between two maitre couturiers featuring the best creations of Azzedine Alaia and Christian Dior It was in Tunisia, when he was still a teenager, that the young Ala?a first discovered the creations of Christian Dior through fashion magazines made available to him by Madame Pinault. In 1956, on his arrival in Paris, he undertook a brief four-day internship with the great couturier, whom he had always admired. During this time, he immersed himself in the unique atmosphere of a fashion house, observed the work of the head of the atelier, and witnessed the creation of a collection... This seminal experience would be spoken of with emotion for many years to come. The book Azzedine Alaia and Christian Dior: Two Masters of Couture offers a dialogue between Azzedine Alaia's models and those that the couturier patiently collected from Christian Dior. It highlights concepts of style and creation that, despite being separated by several decades, respond to, unite or confront each other, bearing witness to a shared sensibility over time.
