Alaïa

Azzedine Alaïa is one of the few living designers whose clothes effortlessly transcend most of what passes for sculpture today. His understanding of form, structure, fabrication and the life of textiles in movement is peerless. This is the first comprehensive survey of his work and a rare opportunity to study pieces at close range. There is scarcely a corner of the design world from automotive to architecture which would not benefit from exposure to Alaïa's brilliance. Untill January the 26th.

Palais Galliera
"Lulled by the monotonous sound of the rain beating down on his trunks and on the carriage roof, like sacks of peas being emptied out over his head, Des Esseintes began dreaming of his coming journey."
- J.-K. Huysmans, 1884, Against Nature
