Vintage Alaïa Fall 1990 Forest Green Ribbed Knit Scoop-Neck Dress

This ribbed knit green dress in Size L(fits S-M) is a rare archival piece from Azzedine Alaïa’s Fall 1990 collection, a season defined by its tension between structured authority and seductive fluidity. Made from a luxurious blend of 93% rayon, 5% polyamide, and 2% elastane, it hugs the body with a soft sculptural stretch — a hallmark of Alaïa’s technical mastery.

The scoop neckline and mid-calf ruffled hemline balance sleek minimalism with quiet allure. Alaïa’s use of power knits and pinstripe-inspired ribbing this season reflected the era’s mood shift: recession lifting, sensuality resurging. This dress echoes that energy — boardroom strength, boudoir charm.
