Azzedine Alaïa To Open Brick And Mortar Store For The First Time In 20 Years

Paz de la Huerta Reveals Her Favorite Designer In Slowest Interview Ever
Paz de la Huerta has that kind of fascinating craziness that makes for great red carpet moments and hilarious quotes, but apparently it also does wonders for really awkward video interviews, like this one she did with VH1′s Morning Buzz.
Alaïa Says ‘Everyone Copies’, Loves Shopping At Zara And H&M
If Azzedine Alaïa seems like the type of designer who would lambast fast fashion retailers for destroying the integrity of the industry one cheap copy at a time, then appearances are deceiving. It turns out the designer has a surprisingly refreshing, if somewhat fatalistic view on the whole matter.

Alaia Blames Fashion Calendar For Alexander McQueen’s Death
Azzedine Alaia has gotten a lot of attention of late for his criticism of the fashion industry’s breakneck pace — he even turned down John Galliano‘s old job at Dior because he didn’t want to be a slave to a sped-up fashion cycle he says doesn’t allow for designers to be truly creative.
10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: June 19-25
This week we got details on Kate Moss‘s imminent nuptials, saw Nicola Formichetti‘s X-rated video (and fanzine!), and found out about Justin Bieber‘s Kelly Kapowski obsession.

Azzedine Alaia: Karl Lagerfeld Is A Hack, Anna Wintour Has No Taste
Azzedine Alaia may be one of the greatest designers working today, but the typically press-shy (try finding a photo of him) couturier usually prefers to fly under the radar — at least until this week. On Monday, he revealed to the Financial Times that he’d been offered (and had turned down) the role of creative director at Dior. And yesterday, in a no-holds-barred interview he did with Virgine magazine, Alaia slammed both Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour in one fell swoop.
Guess Who Was Officially Offered The Dior Job (And Turned It Down)
Amid all the speculation about who would replace John Galliano as the couturier at the house of Dior, people who thought they were on the inside placed bets on everyone from Haider Ackermann to Sarah Burton.

Azzedine Alaïa Calls The Fashion Calendar ‘Inhumane’
Azzedine Alaïa has been working in fashion for two decades now and apparently he’s getting a little sick of the industry pressure.

PHOTOS: Naomi Campbell’s Big Hair, Bold Dress
Naomi Campbell celebrated the Venice premiere of “Miral” Thursday night in an ankle-length, teal, textured gown by Azzedine Alaia. She accessorized her look with fishnet shoes, an anklet, a Bardot-esque ‘do, and her billionaire boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin. What do you think of the look?
PHOTOS: Megan Fox Comes Down With A Bad Case Of Styleitis
Just when we were beginning to love Megan Fox, she just had to show up to VH1′s Do Something Awards in this brownish-orange, oddly patterned Azzedine Alaïa dress. The cut is less than complimentary, even on a body as perfect at Megan’s. And that accessory we thought she had done away with — the spray tan — seems to be back.
Azzedine Alaïa Feels Rushed By The Fashion Calendar
Remember when Andre Leon Talley pronounced there was ““a famine of beauty! A famine of beauty, honey,” in The September Issue? Designer Azzedine Alaïa has the answer why: the intensity of the fashion calendar that causes designers to rapidly produce rather than thoughtfully create.
