Although one associates Alessandro Dell'Acqua with a certain style of bourgeois femininity (seen in the sensual shapes of his distinctive pencil skirts, nods to lingerie, retro vibes and predilection for black and nude tones), there is always a practicality to its aesthetics. An experienced designer, he knows that in pre-collections it is even more important to maintain a balance between the integrity of the vision and commercial demands.
With this in mind, the designer created a beautiful resort 2025 collection in which he wanted to “fuse haute couture volumes with a casual atmosphere.” As a result, his wife was part tomboy and part bonton queen, the former expressed in references to work clothes and the latter in puffy volumes and buns galore.
A host of little black dresses, delicate lace dresses and balloon skirts were mixed with oversized cotton trench coats, masculine parkas and cargo pants, often worn together for greater contrast.
Duchesse played an important role, as Dell'Acqua used it not only to create feminine silhouettes, but also to offer its most elevated version of bowling shirts, pocketed miniskirts and cargo pants accessorized with eye-catching gold ball chains for added flair. bold. A chiffon pleated skirt lined to give it a shiny and elegant effect was great for the simplicity of it.
Other textures ran the gamut, from the thickness of micro-proportioned knit suits and chunky cardigans to the lightness of a slip dress that paired a floral-print front with a black back and a series of airy cape dresses in solid colors. or a microflower pattern. “I think mixing is the best way for me to create those mistakes from which interesting things emerge. And not only in fashion,” concluded the designer.
