Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s vision of clothing has always been poetic yet wearable. For his Fall-Winter ’25 collection, he infused a deep sense of storytelling through a cinematic lens. Inspired by the visual universe and feminine codes of Sofia Coppola, the collection presented a mix of structured pieces with delicate details, creating an intriguing duality.
The offering started with minimalist looks, with black as the central shade. Transparencies added a sensual touch, while oversized coats introduced a masculine energy. Mini bows brought innocence to an off-the-shoulder black dress, while animal print statement pieces disrupted the neutrality, creating a lavish atmosphere.
The show unfolded in a diverse colour palette, featuring combinations of greys and reds. Camel tones added a classic touch, while electric hues stood out from the rest. Deconstructed XXL bows adorned tops and dresses, disrupting the clean lines of the overall collection.
The show concluded with a more innocent, feminine, and playful aesthetic, with pastels as the central tones. Pinks, baby blues, and yellows were paired with delicate floral motifs, offering a timeless take on womenswear. Structured garments added sophistication, while the combination of oversized pieces, such as chunky coats, introduced an interesting and modern twist to an otherwise classic collection.
The overall proposition was a display of contrasts—elements that have always been part of the brand’s DNA. Short, sculptural dresses and leather skirts catered to the femme fatale, creating looks that were sexy yet subtle, while lingerie-style pieces evoked a sense of delicate sensuality. Outfits featuring oversized knitwear, flowy skirts, and buttoned-up shirts embraced a corporate-core aesthetic. Corduroy, wool, and organza all contributed to the collection’s visual richness.
