Alessandro Dell’Acqua Unveils No. 21 Spring 2026 at Milan Fashion Week

Reviews emphasize retail-minded styling that layers nostalgia over a delicate, romantic core.

Overview

  • Presented on Sept. 24 in Milan, the collection was framed by Dell’Acqua as a deliberate gesture of lightness in response to uncertain times.
  • Craft details centered on chiffon petal cutouts formed into ruffles, silky slip dress layering, and pinned chiffon flowers described as wilted.
  • Feminine sheers and silks were contrasted with masculine pieces, including wide denim trousers and sweaters wrapped at the neck.
  • Critics highlighted late-’80s preppy and ’90s punk references, DIY textures, glitzy touches, and smart clashing combinations that felt immediately wearable.
  • Standout items included pleated tartan or gold lamé skirts, an opulent brocade pencil skirt with a deep side slit, and a tangerine pony-skin suit.
