To ISKN’s app Imagink that I sketched it in on my iPad Pro with Apple PencilĪnd above all, to Azzedine Alaia, so talented and keeping it real, keeping his business small and his talent and influence huge. To the then- pregnant iconic beauty Bevely Peele who modeled the lace-strip dress which I LOVED rendering in pastel and colored pencils on charcoal rice paper. (If you don’t know his work, check it out! So here’s to Gilles Bensimon, who created the original photo in 1993, How many guys can say that? Especially Fashion designers? Hanging out in the birth world? I believe Alaïa had an understandingĪnd respect for the female form and spirit that many don’t. One of the most fascinating things I learned about Azzedine Alaia from a biography of his I used to own is that he was a midwife’s assistant before becoming a fashion designer. Gilles Bensimon was the amazing photographer for American and French Elle Magazine (and beyond-and still is)Īnd today’s illustration was created from a beautiful photo he took of supermodel Beverly Peele in 1993. There are no designers like Azzedine Alaia (Later I got a job at the local fabric store).Ī few years later I was at Parsons School of Design in New York City, then Paris, all because of designers like Azzedine Alaia. I worked at a drugstore in town and would DEVOUR the fashion magazines during the slow hours at night. That’s exactly the era when I decided to become a fashion designer. Just thinking about him reminded me of the sheer power and magic of the time, the era, when he came on the scene. Wow, it hit me hard to hear of Azzedine Alaia’s passing.Īzzedine Alaïa is set so far apart from so many designers.
