N21 “THE LOVERS” SS23 WOMEN’S FASHION SHOW

Alessandro Dell’Acqua called his spring collection The Lovers.

“A lover’s mood swings are always extreme,” he said. “Male, female, whatever; it makes no difference. You go from joy to despair, from desire to rejection, from ecstasy to unbearable pain. Hate, rage, eroticism. Tragedy. Elation. Heartbreak. Moods are fleeting and can change in an instant, depending on a phone call or a text message,” he continued. “I’ve always loved the word lover, and I’ve been wanting for a long time to turn a collection into a cinematic rendition around this often ambivalent, ambiguous term that can have such tortuous meanings.”
