How do you go about creating a show and a book about the relationship between two couturiers who never met in real life? That's the question I put to Carla Sozzani, co-founder of the Fondation Azzedine Alaïa.
She met the Tunisian couturier in 1980s while working as a fashion and book editor and the two became firm friends. Sozzani played a crucial role in promoting his designs and their bond was strengthened by a mutual love of fashion and art.
