The catalogue for an exhibition at the Groninger Museum in The Netherlands. The exhibition displayed Alaia's fashion designs from the period between 2001 and 2011 and this book provides sumptuous full-page photographs of these creations. The name Alaia stands for glamour, sensuality, style, cut, self-confidence, comfort and sex appeal. This book with its fabulous silver mock-croc binding lives up to the name.
