Product Insights & Style Tips

The Alaïa Padded thong sandals carry that signature quiet luxury—architectural, restrained, and instantly city-ready. In anthracite/Gris Fonce, the fabric upper and lining feel soft and refined, while the almond open toe keeps the line clean and leg-elongating. A leather insole and a leather-and-rubber sole ground the look with a subtle, everyday heft. Made in Italy, they arrive tucked in a shoe box with a dust bag, a nod to the house’s artisanal craft.

With a fabric upper and lining, the sandals rest close to the foot in a refined, unobtrusive way, while the leather insole and the leather-and-rubber sole underpin comfort and grip. The almond open toe offers breathability and ease, letting you move from day to night with minimal effort. They pair seamlessly with everything from cropped pants to maxi dresses and slide under a blazer for city-to-dinner transitions.

Alaïa's footwear borrows a pared-back luxury—clean lines, luxe materials, and Italian craftsmanship—so these sandals feel at once timeless and on-point. The anthracite/Gris Fonce palette resonates with the brand's grayscale codes, making them a versatile anchor for everything from tonal suiting to barely-there knit dresses.

Hailey Bieber Leads Alaïa’s New Archetypes Campaign

Hailey Bieber fronts Alaïa’s Archetypes campaign for Summer Fall 2026, photographed by Tyrone Lebon inside his London gallery Grace Mews. The campaign places Bieber within a spare interior of glass furniture, clean architecture, and near monochrome tones, giving the clothes a direct frame through jersey, leather, suede, red poppy print, and precise body led construction.

Alaïa Fall 2026 Collection Centers on Dresses and Outerwear

Alaïa Fall 2026 presents a collection built through precision tailoring, knit dresses, and sculpted outerwear. Shown in Paris, the lineup marks the final chapter of Pieter Mulier’s tenure, focusing on the house’s signature silhouettes and construction. The collection centers on garments shaped closely to the body, with dresses and suits cut to follow natural lines. Knit dresses open the lineup, defining the silhouette through fitted construction and controlled proportion. Tailoring continues this direction, with jackets and trousers built through clean lines and exact cuts. Each piece reflects a focus on fit and structure rather than surface detail. This emphasis on precision anchors the collection.

Pieter Mulier Brings Timeless Elegance to Alaïa’s Spring 2026 Chapter

Alaïa’s Winter-Spring 2026 collection feels like a quiet revolution, where Pieter Mulier reimagines what sensuality looks like in modern luxury. Presented in Paris, the collection radiated intimacy, confidence, and a deep respect for the house’s sculptural heritage. Models glided through a space filled with tension between structure and softness, reminding audiences that Alaïa’s power has always resided in how fabric meets the body. The result was fashion that whispered instead of shouted, exuding poise through minimalism, precision, and movement. Mulier’s eye for anatomy—how clothing can trace, twist, and reveal—has given Alaïa a newfound depth, one that speaks fluently to a generation craving authenticity in glamour.
