"Alessandro Dell’Acqua was in upbeat mode at his Pre-Fall presentation for Rochas: “The mood is of lightness and fluidity with a modern attitude,” he said. “I wanted to convey a sense of ease and of a relaxed, less structured feel.” The couture-like touch for which the brand is known was in evidence in the use of sumptuous, rich fabrics, yet it was stripped of any retro flavor. [...] After two years as the house’s creative director, Dell’Acqua seemed to imbue Rochas’s style with a sharper sensibility and a more focused approach."
