Assertive Fashion Runways

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

No. 21's Fall 2018 Showcases Curious Designs with Marching Band Style

— February 26, 2018 — Luxury
Alessandro Dell'Acqua's No. 21 Ready-to-Wear Fall 2018 collection is a mixture of assertive fashion and post-war parades. Famed for his delicate and well-tailored female silhouettes, the designer injected the runway with rawness and militant appeal, which "provided an enriching backbeat," according to Vogue.

The assertive fashion style of the Fall 2018 collection can be seen in boxy fits that are met by elegant detailing and the provocative shine of latex fabric designs. The recurring element of the marching band hat ties into every outfit with a curious rhythm.

All of this was contradicted with ruched opera gloves, fur throws, layered slip dresses with hints of gold and crystal. While assertive fashion is the theme of the Ready-to-Wear 2018 collection, delicate exquisiteness is the essence of No. 21.
