Presentation of the book Prendre le temps at Actes Sud Publishing – March 2, 2020
This collection brings together the conversations of friends and relatives of Azzedine Alaïa.
During the last five years of his life, with Donatien Grau, Azzedine Alaïa invited his friends of all generations, architects, designers, dancers, philosophers, actresses, writers, fashion and art legends to come together to take a moment and talk about their relationship to time.
It is a unique document on the life of the artists of our time, a historical moment of fashion and culture: we have access to the Alaïa house and its mythical community.
