Alessandro Dell'Acqua

Label Overview

Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s sensual, lingerie-inspired womenswear kept his star aloft in the edgier margins of Italian fashion. Sticking primarily to his signature nude and black palette, Dell’Acqua’s cocktail dresses were red-carpet staples, and his va-va-voom separates, like pencil skirts and chiffon blouses, treaded the sexy-sweet overlap. The designer, whose come-hither footwear was a hit with upscale gallery girls, cites Italian screen sirens as his main muses. He was also known for closing his shows to Pat Benatar’s “Love Is a Battlefield.” However, in 2009 the designer stepped down from his post and detached himself from the house, citing differences with Cherry Grove, the company who produces and distributes the label.
