THE KING OF CLING
When Edith Piaf said: "when a little black dress is right, there is nothing else to wear in its place", she knew very well the power of the little black dress. Who better to design a sexy little number than Azzedine Alaia. Traditionally designers hang a dress on the shoulders, Alaia prefers to use the entire body to support fabrics, wrapping them tight, using viscose jersey and transparent materials to arouse the viewers's attention. The top is cut to accentuate the bust and the halter neckline give the shoulder a much needed focus. Just throw this dress on with heels or flats and you are good to go anywhere. -Eri
