Additional info on the piece:

The most successful collaborations are born out of mutual admiration and respect. Art and fashion have a history of ‘borrowing’ from each other’s mediums, but it is when two likeminded creatives join forces for a collective purpose that true, everlasting beauty is born. Such was the case in 1985 when couturier Azzedine Alaïa and sculptor César Baldaccini came together on a collection known as the “Impression Compression.”

 

 

 

 

Throughout his career, Alaïa was feverishly inspired by his friendships with artists, musicians, architects, and writers, leading to a number of notable collaborations. Thus, it comes as no surprise that in 1985 the first of such partnerships he embarked upon was with his close friend, sculptor César Baldaccini.
