Azzedine Alaïa occupies a unique place in our present: described as the last of the great couturiers, he changed fashion, transformed the experience of women's bodies. A couturier from elsewhere, he opened fashion to the world, and his fashion conquered the world. Having passed away on November 18, 2017, he was a sovereign, with a subtle and powerful personality who knew how to surround himself with artists, designers, authors, musicians, dancers, choreographers, actresses and actors, superstars and anonymous; a worthy man, who maintains in Paris its historic place as the heart of the world.
He gathered around him an unparalleled community. Every day and every night, he lived in public, with this community, gathered around him at 7 rue de Moussy. One day in 2012, Donatien Grau was invited there. In the years that followed, he was among the closest friends to the couturier, to whom he one day promised to write a book about him. This book is the fulfillment of his promise.
Donatien Grau writes with the life of Alaïa "not a tomb, not a book of mourning, but a book of life, where, beyond death [...], the Life Alaïa would appear in all its lights, public or private, poetic or intimate."
