Alaïa Vienne stretch-jersey minidress

This Vienne minidress celebrates Alaïa's mastery of the female form. Rendered in a compact stretch-jersey, its defining feature is the fit-and-flare silhouette, enhanced by the house's signature laser-cut motifs. A modern interpretation of a classic, it offers a refined option for day-to-evening wear.

The art of the detail

The dress is defined by its sculptural fit, achieved through a dense, structured jersey that contours the body before flaring into a full skirt. Presented in timeless black, it features a feminine scoop neckline and short sleeves finished with delicate scalloped edges. The true artistry lies in the intricate Vienne pattern, a series of geometric laser-cuts that circle the hem, adding texture and dimension. This openwork detailing, a hallmark of the brand, creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, demonstrating an unparalleled approach to modern craftsmanship.

How to wear

Style this versatile piece with leather slides and a minimalist top-handle bag for an elegant daytime look, ideal for gallery visits or sophisticated luncheons. As evening approaches, transition the ensemble by introducing slender heeled mules and a pair of polished gold earrings. The result is a poised and contemporary outfit perfectly suited for cocktail receptions or intimate dinner parties. The dress’s inherent grace requires minimal accessorizing, allowing its detailed construction to remain the focal point for any occasion, ensuring a confident and composed presence.
