Spring 2009: Alessandro Dell'Acqua (Milan Fashion Week)

A hodgepodge of knits, sequence, and sheer fabrics came out during Alessandro Dell'Acqua’s Spring 2009 collection. I’m really not sure what the inspiration was. It looked a bit 70’s flower child inspired because of the silhouettes and the color scheme.

I really liked the cashmere knits, especially the off-the shoulder dress. You can see some of the Milan Fashion Week staples — fringes (flapper dresses) and embellished panels (day coat).

“My DNA, at the end, is sensuality, and I am not able to mask it, so I worked with it in a more understated way,” said Alessandro Dell’Acqua. The collection definitely reflected that statement.

here’s my favorite:
