So where do you think American Apparel got their idea for super tight sexy clothes from? Yup that is right, the King of Cling himself, Mr. Azzedine Aläia.
In the 1980s! Amazonian models were photographed in skintight dresses by Aläia while they had a pow wow in the street.
Azzedine, who believed "the base of all beauty is the body, was inspired by Madeleine Vionnet.
Azzedine also said, "There is nothing more beautiful than a healthy body dressed in wonderful clothes."
He is the expert "bodyologist" when dealing with the female form based on his studies in sculpting.
After being recognized as such, Azzedine moved to Paris and worked for Dior, Guy Laroche, Yves Saint Laurent, Thierry Mugler but his best accomplishment has to be his own designs, stretchy dresses, that defined the Lycra revolution.
