Tunisian designer, Azzedine Alaïa, sat down recently to give an interview with Virgine Magazine where he shared his views on fashion, style, and some of the industry's biggest names. Azzedine has already earned his spot in the fashion record books with two Fashion Oscars and a clientele base ranging from Michelle Obama to Grace Jones. He got his start at a young age working in a shop where he learned to sew and finish dress making. His skills were later developed by being hired by wealthy people living in a nearby palace and was later sent to Paris to work with Dior. His first collection came about in 1979 and was photographed by Elle Magazine, even though many buyers labeled it as too sadomasochistic. Today he is a best seller in the United States and is sold in stores such as Barney's. He also went on to slam Vogue editor Anna Wintour saying that he doesn't need her support at all, and also said that Karl Lagerfeld has never touched a pair of scissors in his life. It looks as though Azzedine Alaïa will not be going anywhere anytime soon, and if he makes a few waves in the process I don't think it will matter much to him.
