Alessandro Dell&#39;Acqua&#39;s brand speaks of minimalism and decorativism, in a collection that seems like a love letter to Sofia Coppola&#39;s cinema.

An invisible thread ties together the wardrobe of N°21 for autumn winter 2025-26: the bow . No longer a simple ornamental detail, but an absolute protagonist, capable of defining silhouettes, volumes and meanings. Alessandro Dell&#39;Acqua builds a cultured collection, between sartorial rigor and an almost cinematic sensibility. The starting point? Three films by Sofia Coppola - Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette - from which he distils minimalism, sensuality and chromatic irony. The clean lines of the felted wool coats dialogue with the lightness of the organza skirts, while the absolute black of the petite robe noire coexists with the frivolity of oversized leather and sequin bows. Masculine and feminine meet in the crepe suits with trumpet trousers and bustiers closed by large bows, while the play of weights and volumes becomes evident in the puffy cabans paired with floating skirts. The accessories are measured but impactful: multi-bow satin sabots and bags with geometric lines seal the story. A collection that moves gracefully between rigor and frivolity, between quotation and innovation. But in this narrative that oscillates between the wardrobe of Coppola&#39;s heroines and the heritage of fashion, the question arises spontaneously: is it a renewed stylistic code or yet another homage to already seen imaginaries?
