Hear the histories of top selects in 'Alaïa-Adrian: Masters of Cut' on virtual tour with SCAD FASH curator

Tour

Learn the fascinating history of key pieces on view in Alaïa-Adrian: Masters of Cut with Christina Frank, assistant director of fashion exhibitions. Alaïa-Adrian: Masters of Cut brings together sleek designs and impeccably tailored looks by beloved designers Azzedine Alaïa (1935–2017) and Gilbert Adrian (1903–1959). Garments on view display the intricate detailing of Adrian’s suits — the mitered stripes, clever seaming, and unexpected appliqués — in dialogue with Alaïa’s body-celebrating designs. Pairing their work, the exhibition reveals the designers’ intertwined and enduring legacies. In addition to tailored looks from both designers, Masters of Cut features a selection of Alaïa’s career-defining gowns worn by fashion icons like Grace Jones.
