Alessandro Dell'Acqua's No. 21 Collection is something of a Conundrum. At times it can be Decisively on the Mark and other times it can be a little Confounding. Sometimes, it can be both. Today it was Both. Dell'Acqua Showed Severity and Exuberance combined in some interesting and some not so interesting ways. The Opening Passages suggested a kinda of Duality and Tension of Opposites. Sprightly coloured Sequined floral pieces matched with good old reliable Fall staple, Camel. It seemed, even though it looked great together, Incongruous. That incongruity would Flourish as the collection delved deeper into these Juxtapositions.
A Loden Green Rib-Knit sweater was paired with a Little Nothing of a sheer wisp of a Black Chiffon skirt at Exit No. 10 and played even more so into that Duality Idee. The Extravagant Exuberance of a completely Feathered Skirt with a Casual Sweater at Exit No. 21 also Posited opposites in the same outfit, to a rather curious effect. The further Dell'Acqua explored this interesting dichotomy the abstruse things became.
I would say this should have been a case of Less is More... but in some Compelling Way... This all worked. It was a little Mystifying, but the more you studied it, the more it all began to Hang Together under it's own Idiosyncratic and Kooky Logic. By the end, It was Strangely Thrilling. Dell'Acqua seems, when he is Working his own Oeuvre, He's pretty damn Magnetic. This collection for Fall, Bemusing as it was, Left me with an Odd Rush of Excitement at what was just seen. The clothes themselves are Gorgeous, The way Dell'Acqua put them together was a bit Vexing, But with the Challenge of that Styling came a Rich Reward of seeing someone Exercise their voice with Pure and Utter Confidence. It Made Me A Believer!
That's All.
Bye4Now!
