MILAN — Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s No. 21 collection for next spring and summer, presented Wednesday during Milan Fashion Week<\/a>, is a study in lightness, as a hedge against the heavy times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that in moments of heaviness and uncertainty, sometimes taking a moment of lightheartedness and clearing your mind a bit can be good for you,” Dell’Acqua said backstage. \u201dThis is why I made it so light.”<\/p>\n

Nowhere was the concept more at play than in chiffon petal cutouts that were sewn together in ruffles on dresses, or as a collar around the neck, rustling delicately with the movement. Dell’Acqua also created wilted flowers out of chiffon that he pinned on garments, \u201cas if forgotten by time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lightness allowed Dell’Acqua to layer amply. Plaid kilts were underpinned by petticoat layers. Prairie skirts with a big hem ruffle were tied prettily at the waist. Silken slip dresses were worn one atop the other. <\/p>\n

The collection was a treasure chest of feminine silks and sheers contrasted with wide masculine denim trousers and gray man’s sweaters tied around the neck in the style of the Milanese bourgeoisie.<\/p>\n

“This is about romance, but also about modernity,” he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MILAN — Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s No. 21 collection for next spring and summer, presented Wednesday during Milan Fashion Week,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[29791,29790,127,114,146,9172,85,46,231],"class_list":["post-36209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-29791","tag-apparel-and-accessories-manufacturing","tag-article","tag-business","tag-entertainment","tag-fashion","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-lifestyle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
