A cozy, sexy, body conscious dress from Azzedine Alaia. Just goes to show you do not have to be bare to be sexy.
This is a very early Alaia piece from circa 1981.
'Alaia's first collection was presented in his apartment on Rue de Bellechasse - he made no concessions, with no invitations and no music. People fought over kitchen stools; the bathroom doubled as the make up room. All of fashionable Paris wanted to be there.' from Francois Baudot's Alaia
Alaia is a well known collector of vintage haute couture and perhaps he was inspired by Schiaparelli who used brightly colored zippers as a design element.

Dress is in a wool jersey. So many times, the dresses we have at RARE vintage tend to be on the smaller side but I am happy to say that is not teeny tiny but a size 6/8.
Amazing piece for a collector too!
