The First of Alaïa’s New Cultural Activation Series Features the Iconic Paris Cabaret Crazy Horse and its Dancers
Alaïa has announced the launch of Dialogue, a new series of cultural projects led by the house’s creative director Pieter Mulier.
I have always wanted Alaïa to represent more than just clothes. And this is how Azzedine looked at Alaïa. He was such a visionary, that from the very start, he imagined Alaïa as a whole. As a space where fashion opens up to art and beauty. And this vision remains today. Because I believe that fashion only makes sense if it connects with its time. With the world.”
– Pieter Mulier, Alaïa Creative Director
The first of the projects, Dialogue 1, centers around Crazy Horse, the iconic Parisian cabaret. In addition to being a creative focal point for Mulier, the famed nightlife hub also has a connection with the house’s founder Azzedine Alaïa, who created stage costumes for its dancers in 1979.
Photographer Sam Rock captured, on the Crazy Horse Paris stage, eleven of its dancers. Each one of them wears a different color of the designer’s iconic dress.
