Ala\u00efa was on the other side, saying,<em> <\/em>&#8216;Let&#8217;s give the figure some freedom.&#8217;\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The designer knew, however, that there is no freedom without security. \u201cHe wanted women <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/azzedine-alaia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to feel free and sexy,<\/a>\u201d says Lepire. \u201cSo, the way he makes things, you can feel confident wearing them. This dress is light against the skin. But the way it closes, you know you\u2019re protected. It feels heavenly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, this exemplar of soft dressing was heavenly enough to be sported by Madonna on the cover of the July 1987 issue of <em>Cosmopolitan<\/em> magazine. Of course, when the &#8220;Like a Virgin&#8221; singer wore it, the plunging halter dress was styled to reveal a matching bra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lepire believes the current moment is especially perfect for this dress. \u201cIt\u2019s a great transitional piece,\u201d as warm weather continues into the fall season, she points out. That said, Ala\u00efa\u2019s designs are correctly acknowledged to be timeless. \u201cMy obsession is to make women beautiful,\u201d Ala\u00efa once said. \u201cWhen you create with that in mind, things can\u2019t go out of fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/16760332_datamatics-1000x300.png\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"Azzedine Alaia dress\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/azzedine-alaia\/fashion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Azzedine Ala\u00efa on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/azzedine-alaia\/fashion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the editors and buyers who attended the Azzedine Ala\u00efa Spring\/Summer show in October 1986, the excitement was high.
