A VARIATION ON IS IT A BIRD OR IS IT A PLANE?

Yesterday we asked the question "is it a bird or a plane" in regards to an Alaia ribbed viscose body suit and mini skirt. Today, we ask the question again of a ribbed virgin wool scuba jacket and mini skirt that manages to look like a dress but is actually two pieces. Yes, the beloved "two-fer" we often celebrate. Who doesn't love the feel of a fitted virgin wool zip-up jacket against their skin? And the short mini skirt is one of those essential pieces for fall that you will wear over and over again. Together you have a very "complete" look, yet separately each piece is a lovely compliment to balance a top or bottom with which they are styled. As we continue to celebrate these vintage Alaia dresses and separates, we can't help but marvel at the classic nature of his designs and their relevancy and modernity in modern fashion. No one does it better than Alaia
