Pieter Mulier’s tenure at Alaïa has been defined by sculptural precision and fearless experimentation on the runway, but his influence resonates just as deeply in the house’s everyday pieces – its bags, shoes, and meticulously engineered essentials that have cultivated a devoted following. Until now, these between-season offerings lived quietly behind the scenes, shaping the brand’s commercial rhythm without formal presentation. Resort 2026 marks a shift: the unveiling of what Mulier describes as his “Archetypes”, a foundational vocabulary distilled from the runway and reimagined with a more tangible, approachable sensibility.
