Alaïa Fall/Winter 1988 Micro Houndstooth Suit with Pleated Skirt
From Alaïa’s celebrated Fall/Winter 1988 collection, this micro houndstooth suit exemplifies the designer’s mastery of structure and sensuality. The ensemble features a sharply tailored jacket paired with a pleated skirt, creating a silhouette that is both architectural and fluid — a hallmark of Alaïa’s vision during the late 1980s.
Crafted in a refined micro houndstooth pattern, the suit balances precision with elegance. The pleated skirt adds movement and dimension, while the fitted jacket underscores Alaïa’s reputation for sculpting garments that honor the body’s natural form.
This archival piece is a rare find in size FR 38, offering collectors and connoisseurs a glimpse into the era when Alaïa redefined power dressing with sophistication and grace. Timeless yet distinctive, it remains a testament to the enduring artistry of “the King of Cling.”
