Published by Steidl in the late 1990s, this is the original first edition of Alaïa: The Superbook - often cited as one of the most significant fashion monographs ever published. Conceived by Alaïa himself as a fashion object rather than a conventional monograph, the book is a compendium of photographs, illustrations, and texts with work by Paolo Roversi, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Peter Lindbergh, and Bruce Weber. Both a visual archive and a design object, it stands as a landmark in fashion publishing. Hardcover housed in a slipcase.
