This season designer Alessandro Dell’Acqua showed a relatively small collection, only 32 looks total. The color palette is very limited this season, Dell’Acqua accents with black while splashing a few red and green pieces throughout the collection. In the opening section the designer showed several of last season trends, from the puff jackets to monochromatic knitwear. One of the standout looks in the opening section was a red patent leather bomber jacket. The look is finished with a tapered leg pant. Throughout the collection Alessandro showed a variation of looks giving us both the classic tapered leg pant and a straight leg for comfort. In the second section, through sea of black, another strong piece was a black nylon jacket lined with faux black shearling.

The must have pieces from the collection are both from the closing section. First is a black silk/wool blend overcoat with black satin lined lapels. The overcoat is worn with metallic knit turtleneck sweater and tapered leg pant. Another must have piece from the collection is the black leather tuxedo jacket with satin lined lapels, One of the most unique pieces from the collection. In the end of the collection I loved the experimentation of the evening look but lacking was a strong pant for men. Something else that is lacking from the collection is this season’s need for leather pieces. While Dell’Acqua did give us several standout outerwear pieces, it would have been nice to see him add more leather pieces to the collection.
