An incredible piece from the late 1980s Alaïa era, showcasing the sculptural volume and precise tailoring that made him “the King of Cling,” even when working with oversized silhouettes.
This black coat features a dramatic, wide shawl collar, softly structured shoulders, and a nipped-in waist that opens into a flowing, full skirted hem. The double-button closure sits slightly off-center, creating a wrapped effect that feels both powerful and elegant. The movement is stunning when worn, with the fabric draping and swaying beautifully around the body.
A timeless collector’s piece that captures Alaïa’s mastery of proportion and femininity.
Circa 1988
French size 38 (fits approx. S–M depending on styling)
Very good vintage condition with gentle signs of wear consistent with age
Perfect for anyone building an archival wardrobe or looking for a statement coat that feels modern, refined, and unmistakably Alaïa.
