Items for sale include a Spring 1991 "Tati" dress; a range of leopard and butterfly print pieces from fall 1991 and a leather zip dress from 1986.
"Since our creation almost 10 years ago, the Alaïa archive has been for us the 'one of the top performers on Resee and also a passion for us to source,' said Sofia Bernardin, co-founder of Resee.
"We couldn't be more delighted to be official brand partners, to be able to provide our des rich experiences for guests and a direct line to the house. We are honored to celebrate Mr. Alaïa's distinguished legacy, alongside Mr. Mulier's vision,” she added.
Myriam Serrano, CEO of Alaïa, said the long-term initiative reflects the commitment of the house towards circularity and a fashion that stands the test of time, thanks to a high level of craftsmanship and tailoring.
"Alaïa's creations have always been designed and considered timeless pieces - more than just clothes, these are designs that can be kept for a lifetime and passed on to generations,” the executive said.
Since the death of founder Azzedine Alaïa in 2017, the house has tried its hand at vintage reissues, often prototypes from his extensive archive that have never been commercialized. In 2020, she launched a wardrobe of Alaïa's most iconic designs, spanning from 1981 to 2017, called The Editions.
The partnership with Resee comes as the niche site prepares for expansion. Buoyed by strong global demand for vintage and high-end second-hand goods in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Resee expects sales to double this year compared to 2021, Bernardin told WWD in September. — Joelle Diderich
