Alessandro Dell’Acqua

[altitude]

Alessandro Dell’Acqua grew up watching the great Italian films of Visconti, Rossellini and Fellini, and admiring both the women and men in them. His women’s collections have always been inspired by the raw sexiness and strong femininity of great Italian leading ladies. “These are the women I imagine as I design my collections,” Dell’Acqua says. “They are free, they are powerful, they are not ashamed of their wishes, they want to be beautiful and they want to feel desired”. Dell’Acqua loves the unexpected. He injects a touch of eccentricity into each collection, using contrasting fabrics to reveal and emphasize the female silhouette.
