Feminine stuff is designer Alessandro dell’Acqua’s bag. His No. 21 womenswear collections heave with the stuff, but it always feels edgier and cooler on the men. This Autumn/winter 2016 cross bred dell’Acqua’s terribly current her-for-him signature with an undercurrent of utility – bomber jackets, khaki, a slightly surplus feel made precious, hard lad stuff contrasted with the soft and transgressively feminine. No. 21 menswear is only a few years old, but it’s already carved itself a distinct niche in the menswear landscape.
