No 21 Spring 2013 | Runway

Alessandro Dell'Acqua has a penchant for mixing feminine with masculine, and for Spring 2013 he worked those juxtaposing forces into a mostly crisp lineup of boxy collared tops, round-shouldered jackets, t-shirt dresses, and superslim pencil skirts. In mixed panels of lace, jacquard, and sheer knits they were plenty appealing, and — at their most successful — felt sporty and fresh.
