This important spring / summer 1987 runway documented Alaïa swimsuit is tailored from a stretch-cloth with a satin-like sheen. The green-gold pewter shade became a signature of the house. It is cut to a bra-like shape at the front and is underwired. There are wide, supportive straps. The back is lower, cut with curved seams to pull in the waist.
