N°21 – REINVENTING WOMEN STANDARDS

Alessandro Dell’Acqua borrows the colors of the collection from a carpet of autumn leaves. The heavy fabrics of men’s suits are used for squeezed jackets, men’s belts, while work gloves are embellished with hard stones. The torso is often wrapped, sometimes revealed by the transparencies of the shirts which highlight a sophisticated lingerie effect; legs are always naked: high waist knee-length or above the knee skirts (which slim the silhouette), rich of geometric folds vaguely ‘40s, such as rectangular pochettes,  in a harmony of angles which constitutes the stylistic code of Dell’Acqua. Building femininity by incorporating codes of men’s’ wear is surely a proof of creativity, but also a game for all women whom benefit from it. Welcome back to one of the greatest talents of Italian design.
