The Winter Garden. No. 21 by Alessandro Dell'Acqua Fall Winter 2012 2013

It is not a coincidence
 that if  we speak of Milan fashion weekone of the most fascinating and interesting brands, handcraftly speaking,  is N °21 by Alessandro Dell'Acqua.
For the last collection  the designer seems to have started the design from a scenario, in particular by a garden.
A gardenleft to itself, wild, where the flowersthat during the winter does not have much color if not spectacular variations of green, are  reinterpreted through the tissuessuch as macramé and lace, typical of the designer, who has always shown a great interest in women's underwear;
passing the Muse part, the second part of the design, Alessandro Dell'Acqua, although he still etched in his creativity the classic icons of inspirationtry to imagine an essence of what is the modern girl
There isn't actually one default style to give directly to the collection,  as always we turn around elements that recall vaguely romanticisism, and others, such as jackets and bomber jackets, for a more sporty style, or even grunge.
A romantic/grung-ish garden , then, is the place where the collection takes place.
What about the fabrics?
The Tissues start from cashmere cameltweed used for deep-v-neck dress and for corean-collar bomber jacket, satinduchesse and organza.
But it's not all.
The collection ends sequined skirts and dresseswhere the sequins and applications usedgive a touch of color that recalls the colors of a garden, where the girl who passes through, is a colorful flower in the winter time.
This then
 what closes the thread of my argumentnamely 
the concept of a  grungy romantic winter.
