Alaia brings 'timeless' womenswear to Beijing

French luxury womenswear brand Alaia recently opened its first independent store in Asia in Beijing's Shin Kong Place.

Models presented the 2015 spring/summer collection, as well as the Goddess Dress line that includes 26 representative evening dresses by Azzedine Alaia, the Tunisian-born founder and head designer of the label.

Inspired by the goddesses in ancient Greek culture, the line features Alaia's signature structural and curving dresses mainly made from knitwear. They will be exhibited until Jan 9.
