Day two of Paris Fashion Week Fall 2025 marked a stunning comeback for Alaïa, reestablishing its presence on the official PFW schedule after a notable absence. The creative director, Pieter Mulier, who had temporarily relocated to New York for the previous season, returned to the enchanting City of Light to unveil the highly anticipated Alaïa Fall 2025 collection. Mulier, leading the iconic Parisian fashion house since 2021, warmly welcomed a star-studded audience, including notable figures like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Amina Muaddi, into the exquisite Alaïa atelier. The space was beautifully adorned with sculptures by renowned Dutch artist Mark Manders, creating an immersive atmosphere. Accompanied by a captivating soundtrack featuring Egyptian operatic soprano Fatima Said and the poetic words of celebrated poet Khalil Gibran, models graced the runway, showcasing a stunning array of artful and otherworldly designs that mesmerized attendees.

“50% quite good + 50% insanely bad. As if there were two creative directors…” [TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]
“Is Alaïa in the room with us?” [AnaD]
“I need time. And a double vodka.” [Delleone]
“Since the New York show, I find myself liking his work less and less. There are some interesting things but I dislike how he takes very simple, almost basic clothes and adds a ridiculous gimmick just to make it fashion.” [Avonlea]
“Well it’s certainly a feat to make Alaïa look this belaboured and unflattering. No sex to be found, no joy, no charm—just Teletubby lifejacket couture.” [fruitdots]
“Hmm I can’t with Pieter Mulier. It’s never about the women or the body. It’s just a design project. Azzedine Alaïa was a master of proportion, and here we have this.” [Lola701]
“After seeing the first five looks, all I could think of were condoms and swim doughnuts. I wasn’t able to process anything that came after.” [Kennnnn]
“The way he tries SO hard, so much effort but the end results makes you feel little. There is no emotion, no life. He adopts some aesthetics of minimalist designers but removes all the ease and effortlessness. These women look so restricted, and it’s painful to watch.” [Grets]
