Alessandro Dell'Acqua got personal today at No.21. For the first time since he launched the label seven years ago, he revised the tropes of his eponymous Alessandro Dell'Acqua collection.

The collection Dell'Acqua showed today was a perfect merging of his two personalities, a clash of the carnal and the sporty. There was a lot of flesh, feathers and crystals, but also hoods and blousons. No. 21 suddenly felt grown-up and womanly, but the metropolitan touches kept the collection from being overly ladylike.
