The designer behind her red dress was equally iconic. Azzedine Alaïa died at 82 on Saturday.*
Alaïa was known for his independent spirit (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/18/fashion/azzedine-alaia-obituary.html) and as a pioneer of form-fitting, figure-defining fashion. Basically, he pioneered bodycon.*
"He used leather and knits to shape and support the body, transforming it into the best version of itself," the New York Times wrote in his obituary (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/18/fashion/azzedine-alaia-obituary.html).* Read more... (http://mashable.com/2017/11/18/azzedine-alaia-dead-82/)
