N°21 Spring 2015

MILAN — The business of Fashion Week got underway in earnest late Wednesday afternoon when Alessandro Dell’Acqua presented his N°21 collection for Spring 2015. The sun shone brightly on the courtyard at via A. Maiocchi 5/7, which welcomed Hedvig Palm, Ola Rudnicka, Georgia Hilmer, Maja Salamon, and Julia Frauche last seen in the not infrequently foggy British fashion capital earlier in the week. The finale was set to Pat Benatar’s classic “Love Is a Battlefield,” but with this tight-knit band of Next sisters Milan could well replace love in the title. “We are strong / No one can tell us we’re wrong / Searching our hearts for so long / All of us knowing / Milan is a battlefield.” Credits include: Client, N°21; Collection, Ready-To-Wear Spring 2015; Design, Alessandro Dell’Acqua; Hair, Paul Hanlon; Makeup, Tom Pecheux; Casting, Random Production; Models, Hedvig Palm, Ola Rudnicka, Georgia Hilmer, Maja Salamon, Julia Frauche; Video, Damien Neva at Next Management.
