Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier Who Shaped Women, Olivier Nicklaus (2022, France)

An outsider who subdued the fashion system with the help of his talent, his group of unconditional supporters and his devoted look towards women.

That the Franco-Tunisian couturier Azzedine Alaïa (1935-2017) had such disparate fans—Greta Garbo and Grace Jones, Kim Kardashian and Michelle Obama—only confirms the expressive force, freedom and inalienable commitment that he left stamped on each garment. 

This exciting portrait, with interviews with the master himself, draws us a precocious young man who landed in Paris in 1956, a frustrated sculptor (he later took it out on fabrics) and a collector who loved architecture, music, and theatre. 

Archive images and memories reveal that he was a man always surrounded by friends, but reserved, scrupulous with balance and humble with his achievements. Paris loved him, fashion loved him, women continue to dress him. This couturier was much more than his famous body conscious: he left a shameless and cultured refinement for history.

Film will be screened in original version subtitled in Catalan
