Alaïa opens London store, first flagship outside Paris

Maison Alaïa has opened its first UK store on London’s Bond Street, at number 139 to be exact. It is the house’s first flagship outside of Paris, a 6,000 sq ft space that is full of light and showcases the full spectrum of collections from ready-to-wear to couture by appointment only, shoes, accessories and limited editions. The space has been in the works for nearly a year and is curated with artists and designers from around the world, with all pieces celebrating the refraction of light and transparency.
