N21 by ALESSANDRO DELL'ACQUA WOMEN'S FALL WINTER 2018 | #fashionshow

Re-live the catwalk experience on numeroventuno.com #N21FW18 "Alessandro Dell’Acqua started with a mood board mise-en-scène: a postwar majorette on her way home after some parade, wrapped up in her boyfriend’s parka. Thus armed with the seed of an idea, he threw it up into the air and watched it twirl, whirl, twist, and flourish every which way. This designer has a reliably appealing creative rhythm that counters precision cutting with a yen for the sumptuous and feminine: tonight an injection of masculinity provided an enriching backbeat. Slouchily cut wide pants in cotton with check side stripes were played against plaid shirts and jackets with slick black leather or crystal-pocked fringing. Tight knit tanks decorated with the silhouettes of majorettes mid-march stepped against lace pants and stacked brothel creepers. A really fugly gold-soled white sneaker played bass to light mid-length skirts studded with eyelets, ruched opera gloves, and fur throws. There were plenty of layered slip dresses with flashes of gold and crystal. As Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” played its concluding tortured chorus, that boyfriend faded into the background thanks to a series of sequin dresses and skirts stitched with sparkling landscapes of Las Vegas’s lights by night. The last look was a black-fronted, olive-backed felt majorette minidress decorated with palm-pattern crystals, after which Dell’Acqua himself sauntered out to his own easy tempo".
