The Savannah College of Art and Design<\/a> is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its overseas campus in Lacoste, France with a new exhibition that pays homage to a revolutionary force in fashion, Azzedine Ala\u00efa<\/a>. The SCAD FASH Lacoste Museum of Fashion and Film in Provence will host <\/span>Azzedine Alai\u0308a: L\u2019Art de la Mode <\/span><\/i>from June 27 to October 29.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition has been expertly co-curated by Olivier Saillard, director of Fondation Azzedine Ala\u00efa in Paris and follows the trajectory of the Tunisian designer\u2019s storied career. The exhibit features 20 landmark gowns, chic suiting, and more pristinely tailored creations from the Ala\u00efa archives, showcasing his “artistic triumphs.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Known for dressing superstars from Madonna<\/a> to Naomi Campbell<\/a> (and many many more), his timeless designs and his wizardry when it comes to curve-hugging silhouettes have garnered Ala\u00efa his fashion icon status \u2014 and the nickname \u201cthe king of cling.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition also features a film about the designer narrated by Campbell (who lovingly refers to Ala\u00efa as \u201cPapa\u201d). <\/span>L\u2019Art de la Mode <\/span><\/i>marks the second exhibition dedicated to the couturier\u2019s work, presented by SCAD FASH. In 2020, the museum\u2019s Atlanta location hosted <\/span>Ala\u00efa-Adrian: Masters of Cut, <\/span><\/i>comparing Ala\u00efa\u2019s garments with that of <\/span>The<\/span><\/i> Wizard of Oz<\/span><\/i> costume designer Gilbert Adrian. With interwoven legacies, Ala\u00efa was known to be a staunch collector of Adrian\u2019s work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to curator, Saillard said, \u201cFondation Azzedine Ala\u00efa is delighted to collaborate with SCAD for the second time, now in Lacoste, in an intimate format where the art of the couturier can be appreciated. Created for the public \u2014 and Ala\u00efa enthusiasts \u2014 this exhibition flourishes from the eyes of SCAD students and all those who will appreciate the art of sculpting that the couturier expressed in his fashion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the summer season, SCAD Lacoste students will have the opportunity to set their sights on Ala\u00efa\u2019s work, as well as participate in master classes and lecture with representatives from Maison Ala\u00efa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Years ago, I was fortunate to spend a special day with Ala\u00efa in his Paris home \u2014 a day I will never forget,” said Paula Wallace, SCAD President and Founder. “He was indisputably an original, known for his everlasting kindness and inventiveness. Ala\u00efa\u2019s brilliance shines ever so brightly in <\/span>L\u2019Art de la Mode<\/span><\/i> at SCAD FASH Lacoste this summer, replete with a carefully curated selection of masterworks from this genius creator\u2019s personal archives. Summer in Provence just got a lot more dazzling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Azzedine Alai\u0308a: L\u2019Art de la Mode <\/span><\/i><\/a>is open to the public through October 29, 2022.
