The runway dress presented at the 1990-1991 Alaïa’s Fall-Winter fashion show (look 74, see picture 8) was almost identical except for a few details such as that it was not ribbed.
This unlined piece nips in at the waist and features a contrasting “mini-ribbed” scoop collar, wrists and hemline (see pictures 3, 9 & 11).
Labeled a size M, the stretchy fabric will easily accommodate a small L size as well. Made in Italy.
Worn in a different colorway by Nicole Richie during her book signing “The Truth about Diamonds” at Virgin Megastore in New York (see pictures 4, 5 & 6), the same dress was seen on Margot Robbie in the infamous “nursery scene” in The Wolf of Wall Street film (see pictures 12 & 13).
Definitely a chic and versatile vintage must-have from Azzedine Alaïa !
