Meet the ultimate collector's gem: Alaïa's leopard wool knit bodycon dress from the iconic F/W 1991 collection. The leopard print from Alaïa's fall 1991 collection is undeniably one of his most iconic designs, instantly recognizable. It had a significant role in the collection, being worn in various versions on the runway by top models like Naomi, Claudia, Helena, and others. Different variations of this piece were prominently showcased in both the Alaïa exhibit at the Groninger Museum and the accompanying book 'Alaia- Azzedine Alaia in the 21st Century.'
