Alaïa Sculpting Pointed Dress in Burgundy
The Sculpting Pointed Dress in Burgundy is an authentic Alaïa piece in Red. Alaïa cuts its clothes to follow the body, a habit that goes back to Azzedine Alaïa himself. The knits are engineered on the machine rather than simply sewn, the tailoring is sharp at the waist, and the seams shape the fit. Coveti authenticates every piece before it ships.
Pointed dress in 3D sculpting knit. Fitted bodice, high neck, voluminous skirt, sleeveless. Asymmetrical length. Made in Italy.

About Alaïa
Alaïa is the Paris house Azzedine Alaïa opened in 1979, showing his first ready-to-wear collection the year after. The press called him the King of Cling for the way he cut knit and leather to the body. Richemont has owned the house since 2007. Pieter Mulier led the studio as creative director from 2021 to 2026, bringing back the ballet flat, the second-skin knit and bags such as Le Teckel, and the in-house studio now carries the collections. The shoes, bags and accessories are made in Italy.
“The Sculpting Pointed Dress in Burgundy is cut close and kept plain, so the seams carry the design.”
