Crafted in supple glossy black leather, the wide corset-inspired shape curves into a dramatic point at the front before wrapping seamlessly around the body, creating a beautifully defined waist from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngenious cut-outs allow the slim leather straps to pass directly through the body of the belt, while polished gold-tone Alaïa engraved buckles introduce a subtle jewellery like finish without interrupting the clean lines. The result is strikingly architectural, balancing strength and femininity in equal measure. Designed to cinch everything from tailoring and knitwear to fluid dresses and outerwear, this is a timeless wardrobe piece that embodies Alaïa's enduring fascination with the female form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eExcellent\/Very Good; a few minor surface scratches to leather\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caramiavintage.com\/collections\/Alaia\"\u003eAlaia\u003c\/a\u003e","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012745642172,"sku":"000ALB","price":695.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/3756\/4973\/files\/31_4c8351a8-8d4d-4599-912f-7a25b4ba11f6.jpg?v=1782794441"},{"product_id":"alaia-br-s-s-2016-cut-out-crop-tank-top","title":"Alaïa \u003cbr\u003e Spring 2016 Édition laser cut crop top","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart of Alaïa's celebrated Spring 2016 Édition collection, this sculptural black crop top pays homage to one of Azzedine Alaïa's most iconic signatures: the intricate laser-cut motifs introduced in his legendary S\/S 1992 collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut from Alaïa's signature stretch knit, the silhouette is deceptively simple, allowing the precision-cut geometric hem to become the focal point.
