"His sharp, engineered tailoring results in armour-like silhouettes typical of the power dressing of the 1980s, yet his use of body clinging and tactile fabrics betray a more sensual approach to the body. This corseted, woollen dress with double breasted closure and wide lapels fuses masculine and feminine dress codes into a garment characteristic of Alaïa's commanding signature"
