N21 by ALESSANDRO DELL'ACQUA FALL WINTER 2026 WOMEN'S FASHION SHOW

The photography book of an artist who is probing intimacy through things. And also, scenes from a film. Names: Sophie Calle, who takes a job for three weeks in a hotel and who, while servicing the rooms, photographs the objects and clothes left in the closets, in suitcases, on chairs, afterward putting it all together in the book The Hotel. And then: Federico Fellini, who succeeds in making the final parade in 8 ½ the parade of innocent vanities. «And so, the film ends? No, that’s how it begins,» goes the final dialogue between Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni) and Claudia (Claudia Cardinale), who manages to give a conclusive sense to the protagonist’s creative disorder. Ultimately, therefore, a naturally aware femininity and its distinct variability are what accord meaning to the N21 Fall-Winter 2026 collection. Which so becomes an investigation that’s voyeuristic yet not naughty, all while assuming the shapes and volumes of the pioneering fashion aesthetic of the 1940s. ALESSANDRO DELL’ACQUA, N21 CREATIVE DIRECTOR «I’d like to talk about about a possible, everyday femininity. Minus any form of superstructure. But also without hiding the sources of inspiration behind it. It’s a matter of creative truth, what led me to describe the aesthetic elements of female clothing through the photos that, pretending to be chambermaid and with an act of innocent voyeurism, Sophie Calle shot in 1981 in a hotel in Venice. These images, sensations and simple truths of women seen in an everyday context through objects and clothes reminded me of the final parade in 8 ½ where the sequence of characters well describes the necessary human variable of life. To stress the normality of this sensation, I made unremitting use of black, the color/non color that represents subtraction and yet also the neutral space on which to set down the start of something. To paraphrase Fellini, then, that’s how the collection begins, with black.» THE COLLECTION A white men’s shirt worn with a pair of poplin/cool wool blend pants and with a black wool twin set opens an intentionally minimal collection that develops through shapes and volumes. Wide-sleeve sack dresses with rather severe little white collar come in contrast to bustier-style gowns, but also to leather jackets paired with micro crop tops and lace or chiffon skirts. More coherent seems the lace slip-dress complete with full chiffon doubling; plus a chiffon cape clashing nevertheless with a classic mannish suit, with wide kimono coats, with the pencil basin skirt/short low-cut jacket suit, with the black sequin dress, as well as with the bustier dress with double black-on-pink brassière. And then fur collars with pink satin trim; skirts in laminated paper fabric, idem for the gold lamé dress. Lastly, bow evening dresses, a double-cloth coat, satin and faille anoraks with colorful geo designs. THE ACCESSORIES Glittery black or silver shoes with white, pink, beige satin toes. Gold flower earrings, twotone duchesse sashes, knit gloves. The bag of the season: a medium-size Cabiria.
