A dramatic and incredibly rare Azzedine Alaïa Paris oversized trench coat crafted in a textured, glossed nylon that moves like liquid. This archive-level piece embodies the powerful, voluminous silhouette that defined Alaïa’s late 1980s outerwear, blending masculine trench vocabulary with his signature sculptural sensuality.
The coat features an exaggerated double-breasted front, wide notched lapels, and beautifully draped dolman sleeves that taper into a clean cuff. Its fluid, elongated cut creates an elegant column effect, while the interior construction includes generous facing panels that easily allow for adding a custom belt, or styling the coat with a standard belt of your choice. The hip pockets are exceptionally large and practical, an iconic Alaïa touch.
Model in video is US Size 6 and 5’8 feet tall. The pictured 90s Donna Karan sheer sequin top and 90s Donna Karan sequin trouser pants are also available in my 1stDibs Shop.
Condition is good, with a few tiny pin-size holes hidden under the collar that are not visible when worn. Due to the intentionally oversized shape, the coat accommodates a wide range of sizes and body types.
