Alaïa Laser-Cut Leather Corset Belt, Wide Black Triple-Buckle Waspie

A wide black leather corset belt by Alaïa, its surface laser-cut into the house's signature lattice and cinched with a row of three buckles. It carves an hourglass over a slip or a tee with the silhouette that made Azzedine the “King of Cling.” This is not any accessory; it is couture.

Azzedine Alaïa built his house on the body itself, second-skin tailoring and sculptural leatherwork beloved by Tina Turner, Grace Jones and Naomi Campbell. The wide laser-cut waist belt is among his most collected signatures, endlessly imitated and never equalled. A genuine Alaïa leather corset belt is a serious wardrobe investment that holds its value.
