Being the buyer for Concept 21 Store in Poznan, Poland, it is always great to visit showrooms! This time, the main aim of my trip to Paris was the re-see of No21‘ s Resort 2016 collection.This time, Alessandro Dell’Acqua fused many themes at a time – the marine chic which involved stripes; ethnic prints and oriental textiles (look at the canvas shoes and the african mask print on cardigans!). All of that brought on the idea of perfect “tropical escape” wardrobe. The midi skirt with a sexy cut looked truly gorgeous with that over-sized chunky sweater while the warm colour of curcuma gave a laid-back mood. In overall, Dell’Acqua is known for his talent of mixing feminine silhouttes with masculine forms – the sailor jacket is the must-have of the collection, combined with one of these crispe checked skirts. This collection is an essential highlight of Alessandro’s fashion career becuase it smartly shows No21’s signatures in a very refreshing order. And the Parisian location for the brand’s showroom has one of the best views I have ever seen. Just like the wonderful, marble corridor.
