Alaïa Knitted silk-blend top

Renowned for its second-skin creations, Alaïa presents a top that embodies this philosophy. With its striking cape silhouette and a bold open back, it redefines contemporary knitwear, adding an architectural dimension to any wardrobe.

The art of the detail

Crafted from a white silk-blend knit, this top offers a fluid drape and a soft feel. The design is distinguished by a clean high neck, long sleeves with thumbholes that extend to the knuckles, and a dramatic, rounded open-back cutout. This innovative construction enhances the form while ensuring complete freedom of movement, showcasing the house's profound expertise in knitwear. The fabric is designed to follow the body’s natural movements with grace, creating an expressive silhouette.

How to wear

Style this sculptural top with high-waisted tailored trousers and pointed pumps for a sophisticated look, suitable for a gallery opening or a formal dinner. The unique open back adds a touch of modernity while maintaining elegance. For a more avant-garde daytime approach, pair it with a structured A-line skirt and ankle boots for a creative meeting or luncheon. It is a perfect transitional piece, moving seamlessly from day to evening occasions with poise.
