Part of Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier
(May to October 2018)
Azzedine Alaïa’s innovations in stretch fabrics were at least as important as his elevation of leather. In his hands, these transformed the silhouette of the wearer.
Rather than creating clothes anchored at strategic points – conventionally, the waist and the shoulders – Alaïa’s bandage dresses cling to the wearer’s form, conscious of the entire body. The stretch fabric allows these minimal silhouettes to move freely.
Debuted in 1986, these variations on the ‘Bandelette’ (bandage) dress are clearly inspired by ancient Egyptian mummification, but also perhaps by the swaddling of infants. The garments join Western and Eastern traditions – highly fitted and precision-cut, with a body simply and sensually wrapped in cloth.
The dresses seem simple, but each band of fabric is precisely engineered and cut to specific dimensions, according to its place on the figure. These creations ushered in the notion of physique-delineating ‘bodycon’ dressing, the defining aesthetic of the early 1990s.
Conceived and co-curated with Monsieur Alaïa before his death in November 2017, the exhibition charts his incredible journey from sculptor to couturier, his nonconformist nature and his infectious energy for fashion, friendship and the female body.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Alaïa personally constructed each garment by hand and refused to bow to the pressures of fashion week deadlines, instead working to his own schedule. His collaborative approach earned him an esteemed client list, including Greta Garbo, Grace Jones, Michelle Obama and Rihanna.
Rather than a retrospective, the show interlaces stories of his life and career alongside personally selected garments, ranging from the rare to the iconic and spanning the early 1980s to his most recent collection in 2017.

Sandwiched the framed print and bookmark in between two pieces of cardboard and wrapped with a long piece of cotton muslin fabric block-printed with words perfect for the holiday season.
Kat is absolutely LOVING her new moby wrap. Able to actually use both hands while cruising around with a breastfeeding baby! Definitely worthwhile.
Compare to Mackenzie's Day 15 from her 365 Project.
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

A new road and footpath has been built at Cranfield which goes right past XS458. She's looking all snug and well wrapped up for the winter, which is good. Chuffing cold today - so bet she was glad of it. I know, planes don't feel the cold...

I wrapped the neck of the hammer with a leather thong. It looks better, and will help prevent the neck from getting damaged if I ever go to hit with it and miss.
At my house, gift wrapping is an artform. This is a package I put together for a girl friend's wedding shower. Spiffy eh?
I surprised myself this year and made a big pile of fabric bags back in November. I've used them as wrapping fabric on most gifts.
They are reusable and environmentally friendly. I know they are not as much fun to open as ripping paper, but we will have a lot less rubbish to deal with tomorrow.
Every little bit helps.

Hmm, wonder if I can make this one wavy? DS picked out color and dread to wrap, so that makes this one "his".
This image was taken a few weeks ago on a very misty morning in Seathwaite. I loved the way the mist was wrapped around the mountains giving small glimpses of them and the promise of a bright day after 2 days of solid rain.
Have missed two days of daily project. I blame christmas. Need to get back to doing some real photography soon!
Everybody loves Costco. As for these sandwich wraps, they're okay. Not the greatest, but I get them from time to time when I'm on a rush. Today just happens to be one of those days. I have a lot ahead of me and half the day is gone already :(

On one of our walks in Avignon, a whole stretch of trees was wrapped in this red tubing. I think it might have been to protect them from heavy machinery during construction? I'm not sure.
