Naomi Campbell Opened AlaÃ¯a’s Couture Comeback

After a six-year hiatus from the couture world, AlaÃ¯a staged its big comeback today with the help of Naomi Campbell.

The supermodel made a rare runway appearance at the fashion house’s Fall 2017 collection at Paris Couture Week. Opening and closing the show, Campbell first walked in a black and white fur coat followed by a sparkling black gown, both of which were topped off with a towering headwrap.

And of course, she brought that famous walk to the show.

The supermodel has been a longtime muse to Azzedine AlaÃ¯a, appearing in the fashion house’s campaigns and on its runways for over 20 years. Today’s runway reunion between the two fashion forces marked AlaÃ¯a’s first couture show in six years. The designer has a tendency to weave in and out of the couture world – his last show (presented back in 2011) followed an eight year break from the Couture Week schedule.

Also making a rare runway appearance for the special occasion was Karlie Kloss, who posted a photo alongside both Naomi and Azzedine after the show.
