Alaïa

In het Groninger Museum zal dit najaar een expositie te zien zijn van de werken die couturier Azzedine Alaïa het afgelopen decennium gemaakt heeft.
Alaïa werd geboren op 7 juni 1940 in Siliana in Tunesië. Sinds 1957 is hij actief met het ontwerpen van kleding. Vanaf de tachtiger jaren is hij erg bekend. Sterren als Naomi Campbell, Madonna, Shakira, Tina Turner en Michelle Obama dragen zijn kleding. Op de tentoonstelling zullen creaties te zien zijn die hij de afgelopen tien jaar heeft vervaardigd.
Het is niet de eerste keer dat het Groninger Museum aandacht besteedt aan de werken van Alaïa. In 1998 werd er ook al eens een overzichtstentoonstelling rondom de mode-ontwerper gepresenteerd.

From 11 December 2011 to 6 May 2012, the Groninger Museum will present the exhibition entitled Azzedine Ala?a 2001 - 2011. This exhibition displays the most fantastic Alaïa fashion creations of the last ten years. Alaïa is one of the last major couturiers still active. His range of clothing has received great acclaim from celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour, Victoria Beckham, Shakira and Michelle Obama. The exhibition is a follow-on to the overview of his work shown in the Groninger Museum in 1998, which was subsequently displayed at the Brandt Foundation in New York in 2002.
Tunisian-born Azzedine Alaïa is one of the most important fashion designers of the last decades. The name Alaïa stands for glamour, sensuality, style, cut, self-confidence, comfort and, of course, sex appeal. His tight dresses embrace the bodies of the world's most seductive and successful women, from Tina Turner and Michelle Obama to Madonna.
