If you know anything about fashion, you should’ve heard of Azzedine Alaïa. Whether it’s the ‘Clueless’ movie reference or his famously endearing nickname ‘papa’ dubbed by Naomi Campbell, Alaïa is a bonafide household name in luxury fashion.
Azzedine Alaïa was born in Tunisia, a small country at the northernmost tip of Africa. He was raised with a twin sister who he later cited as his inspiration for loving the craftsmanship of couture. Alaïa started his career as an apprentice, as a young aspiring designer does, eventually taking his talents to Paris to work for the likes of Guy Laroche, Christian Dior, and Thierry Mugler. In the late 1970s, he opened his first Parisian atelier.
Alaïa’s first ready-to-wear collection launched in 1980 to rave reviews from prominent fashion writers and editors. Coincidentally, that same year, it was an Alaïa coat worn by an interior designer in New York that caught the attention of a Bergdorf Goodman buyer, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Alaïa’s career really blossomed in the 80s, years before Gianni Versace is credited for ushering in the supermodel era of the 90s. Alaïa shows featured high profile names like Stephanie Seymour, Veronica Webb, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Eva Herzigova, some of whom would reportedly cancel other shows to walk Alaïa’s runway.
Crowned the “King of Cling”, Alaïa crafted a specialized stretch-knit aesthetic that became infamous for the body-con silhouette. Bandage dress, cage-like cutouts, and sleek catsuits became Alaïa's signature, even before the likes of Herve Leger. In his Fall 1991 collection, he sends gazelles down the runway in animal intarsia knitwear, ranging from coats and turtlenecks to dresses and catsuits. According to the designer himself, the structure and design of his clothes were meant to give women "that lightness" and a sense of freedom.
I've seen Yasmeen Ghauri and Naomi Campbell walk back to back in short clips from this runway show, but seeing it in flow on the runway was EVERYTHING. The fact that these two powerhouse supermodels are practically wearing the same thing, but each walk delivers a different kind of flavor that you didn't know you were missing the whole time!
Are there any more Alaïa runway shows I need to react to? What are your thoughts on this collection? Let me know in the comments!

LMFAO omg I forget that I actually say these things 😂🤣😂 thank you so much!!!
I’m only here for yasmeen commentary
Lol I know that’s right 😂🙌🏾💯
Nadège (aka Short Cut Lady) was loving this catwalk and the catwalk was loving her back!
Yesssssss! I have to circle back on her! 🙌🏾💯
I love her. So French. So beautiful.
Living for your voice overs! Gurmit was the “Judy Garland” and the model with the cropped, dark hair was Nadege 😉
That was Gurmit Kaur?!? Get out of here! She’s on my list of supers to do a video on. Oh and loveeee Nadege!! Thank you 😊
Indeed. I recognized her in 1987 when I started watching shows.
Oh! What theatrical introduction is this? What the Judy Garland is going on? What…huh! No, cause this is the most-uh... Oh…oh my God! What character are you playing? What story are you telling? Ease on down the road, Liza Minelli…Oh! She is feeling her own fantasy. Yeah, she controls her own destiny. Okay…okay girl. I’m here for it. Yeah, I’m sparkly but I’m comfy, I’m cozy but I’m classy, I’m quirky but I’m fabulous.
I was halfway through this when I realized these were me LOl!!!!!!
u had me laughing throughout😂😂😂😂amazin commentary and yes....MS. CAMPBELL MS. GHAURI
I am ridiculous 😂🤣 so glad you got a laugh! Thank you so much 😊
Every time I see this footage, it makes me chuckle. It's the madness at the side entrance for me. Everything is so chic, until the exits and entrances from the paper cut out? Hilarious. Love this collection. So many beautiful pieces. So many stunning models. That moment of Naomi and Yasmeen is nothing short of ICONIC!!
It’s definitely the madness for me 😂🤣😂 like what on earth was all going on?!? 😂 so funny. I love this collection. Naomi and Yasmeen are GOATs for sure!! 🙌🏾💯🔥
MALCOME, i don't think you know how naturally funny and witty you are! you always have very clever and hilarious things to say by just being you! its kind of effortless and i love it!
Awwwww omg 🥺 this just made my day. Thank you so much!! I’m soooo glad you enjoy 😊💖🫶🏾
@@MalcolmSoaries i just love all of your soundbites! they're gold! please do more of these runway reactions cause i love to see what you would say next! lolll
Your comments during your reaction have me laughing so hard ! I love it !
Aww haha thanks so much! I am so glad you got to laugh!! I love laughing 😂🙌🏾🙏🏾💖
Ugh I should have gathered all my thoughts into one listed comment like usual but I'm cooking dinner for Grandma. The big collars are GIVING Elizabeth I. That is an obvious historical fashion reference to me. Taking up space using fashion as a way to command power and set boundaries. "Don't get too close to me, fellas." Absolutely genius.
Veryyyyy Elizabethan, for sure!! 🙌🏾💯
I loved the high waisted long slim skirt with a slit up to heaven in the back. It was such a great look.
SUCH a great look!!! 🔥🙌🏾💯
awesome commentary!!!
Thank you so much!!! 😊
It’s about time! One of my all time favorite designers, his craftsmanship is phenomenal
I know! Been on my list for awhile. I’m seriously cracking down 🙌🏾💯
Oh, when you have a moment, try some Gianfeanco Ferre (Dior collections) and some Claude Montana, they’ll give necklines
@@Ric419 oooooooh I’m a huge fan of Giancranfo Ferre’s work, will definitely add that to my list! I have Claude down already so I’ll be moving that up now 🙌🏾💯 thank you!
Phenomenal video!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much!!
Who do you like more as a duo ; Yasmeen & Naomi , Yasmeen & Karen , or Naomi & Linda
Oooooooh excellent question! Huuuuge fan of Linda Evangelista and Karen Mulder is iconic. I’m biased towards Yasmeen and Naomi always. But I’m going to react to Linda and Karen highlights soon, so maybe I’ll change my tune (doubt it though 😂).
Short hair girl is Nadege Dupertis who was once one of the top 7 highest paid walker despite not categorized as one of the top 10. She is from France.
Ahhhhhhh yes! A few people have pointed her out. I just added a star next to her name. Thank you!!!
@@MalcolmSoaries I've always thought of her as the 'All American Next Door Color Girl' . She always has that easy breezy attitude.
OMG this was fun! You had me LMAO! 😂😂😂 Malcolm, you should do stand-up. You’re hilarious! And yeah, Elle in that white butterfly cat suit! 🔥🔥🔥
Awwwww I’m so glad you had fun and got a laugh!!! I’m sincerely just ridiculous by nature 😂😂😂😂 stand up?!? Really?!? Wow, what a compliment. Never heard that before! Thank you so much 😊 and ugh!!! That butterfly cat suit was EVERYTHINGGGG 🙌🏾💯💖
I enjoyed this
Thank you! 😊
Quote: “Carla Bruni is not HERE to play Scrabble with y’all.”❤❤❤
No gamesssssss!!!! LOL 😂🙌🏾💖💖💖
No one can doubt Naomi's talent as a model. But while she has behaved more than pitifully on countless occasions, Yasmeen has always behaved like a true lady. The entire industry always praised her extraordinary seriousness and professionalism.
She never made a fuss, never insulted or mistreated anyone and never behaved like a diva, as Naomi did on so, so many occasions. So I'll stick with Yasmeen...
Naomi definitely developed a reputation. Since Yasmeen retired much earlier, I will say that’s it been nice seeing Naomi remain in the spotlight and evolve her professional image far away from those chaotic episodes from many years ago. She’s certainly not perfect, but she’s actually made great strides in rehabilitating that negative perception of her in the workplace. But Yasmeen was always a class act and deserves the admiration for it for sure!
You should do Valentino spring summer 1993 or Versace spring summer 2002, great shows
Had that Valentino show on my list already! Just added the Versace! Thank you! 😊
pour a tall glass of it and drink it up - the best comment I've ever heard lol awesome !!!
Hahahaha I’ll have to remember that so I can post the clip of it. Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Nice to see those images of supermodels from the 90s, many were already active in the 80s but they became a phenomenon in the 90s "the big five" were Campbell (United Kingdom) Turlington (USA) Crawford (usa) Schiffer (Germany) Evangelista (Canada)
Yes! They were walking Alaia in the 80s too!! 🙌🏾💯
Love Alaia!
his Fall 1986 show, the debut of Naomi was also fabulous!
You should do Chanel Spring or Fall 1994. Fun fashion and great models.
I didn’t realize that was her debut show! I’ll have to circle back. Adding this Chanel shows to my list as well 🙌🏾💯
If you like butterfly prints, check out Jenny Packham. She uses this motif quite often and her designs are EXQUISITE! Pure 1930s glamour!
Ahhhhhh! Jotting this down!
RIP Alaia ❤️
🙏🏾💖✨
7:45 18:50 helena christensen 🇳🇱 one of my fav faces from the supermodels era 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oooooooooooh that’s right!!! Helena is iconic.
I Loved it Malcolm
Aw thanks so much! 💖🫶🏾
Hello, now you're talking about 1 of my favorites (who I met,1 week, then the next Gaultier). Alaia was original trained to be a sculpture, and it is evident in his work. He is a master tailor. He draped his garments and was precise in everything he designed. This show and the ones prior to this will show Alaia was actually the designer, not Versace, who created the supermodels strut on the catwalk. The models , and I mean all the models who were hot, did his shows , sometimes for free. A lot of them were paid in clothes, which kind of says a lot about his designs, and models who have the opportunity to wear everything from other designers, to covet his creations. There are 2 great books on Alaia that I recommend, Alaia, Afore, Alaia, and Azzedine Alaia/Arthur Elgort/Freedom.
Wow!!!! Thank you for sharing this! I read that a lot of models would cancel other shows to walk for him, and yes he was the real inventor of the supermodel before Gianni! Incredible.
I forgot, at one point he also delved into menswear! Damn I wish I could have, but I do own an Alaia cape, with a hood, that wraps completely around the body! Amazing article of clothing.
“Short [hair]cut lady” is Nadège du Bospertus; French supermodel.
Ahhhhh! I’ve had a few people request I do a video on her. Can’t wait to circle back 🙌🏾💯
I love you and your reactions ! Also who is your favorite model in this current time ?
Thank you so much! Hmmmm, you know whose walk I actually really like? Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber. I’m going to do some more current shows to get familiar with more current names though lol the 90s have me in a chokehold
@MalcolmSoaries My current queen is Bella Hadid. Her evolution has been stunning to behold and she looks just like Carla Bruni!
I love a happy to be here kind of girl!
Right?!?! 😂🙌🏾💯💖
Dayum....did you see how Naomi snatched off those gloves, snatched off that coat and then she was soooo snatch! I had to pause th video and recover!
Soooooo did I!!!! Phewwwwww! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish Naomi and Yasmeen had high fived. Even their hips were in synch. But even Elle and Helena were so on the money.
Yes!!!!! 🙌🏾💯
U have to do spring 91&92 alaia
Ok! Adding now.
Please react to the Versace haute couture fall winter 1999 😍😍😍😍 and Valentino spring summer 2003, my favorite shows ❤
Had that Versace one written down, when Gisele opens the show!! Added the Valentino one as well 🩷🙌🏾
Please please please call out Helena… 12:57
Ooooooh Helena Christensen! I don’t think I knew it was her!
Short Cut Lady = Nadjene du Bosperatus.
YES!!! Love her!
A Tunisian designer🇹🇳 but he lived most of his life in France
Yes! I wrote about this in the description.
There s a little musem in the city of Sidi bou Said upNorth Tunis where he's buried that's dedicated to him
My comments will be all over so forgive me. Leopard print love ❤️ We have Naomi Yasmeen Christy Nadege Claudia Beverly all making Papa proud! And Christy kicking the purse like a soccer ball? 😂 Also thank you Malcom for pointing out those hideous clunky shoes that McQueen interpreted and made into literally horse hooves 🐎
Yesssssss McQueen did them too! Ugly ass clunky shoes 😂😩😩
what character are you playing is Gurmit Kaur.
Ahhhhhh yes!!! She’s on my list!
Most of the models get to keep the clothes!
Get out!!! Ugh. Amazing.
@@MalcolmSoaries During the early 90s, you can catch a glimpse of models like Linda, Yasmeen Ghauri, Naomi, Marpessa, Christy, Gail Elliott, Stephanie Seymour etc all wearing Alaia off-duty looks.
I want the red AND the blue pill…
Yesssssss!!!!! 🙌🏾💯😂
I’m a tigress man, myself 17:03
🐅🐅🐅🐅
Do christian dior fall 1997
Got it! Just added 🙌🏾💯
Do christian dior fall 199u
💯🙌🏾
Claudia is German! Lol
Ahhhh lol Schiffer….makes sense lol
That was Christy who dropped the bag. Not a good show for her. I think it was very early in her career. Slays the 1992 Versace Spring
I’ll circle back!!!! Didn’t realize that was Christy!
claudia couldnt walk in a straight line. always looked drunk.
Ahahahahahaa you ain’t lyin!! 🤣😂🙌🏾💯
Yasmeen was actually just ok for me in this show. Tyra, Naomi and the other girls really stood out for me.
I prefer Yasmeen in Versace, personally!
