He has received the "Oscar della Moda" from the Italian fashion community twice: in 2002 for "New Women's Designer," and in 2004 for "Leading designer of 'The New Femininity'".
In 2000, Alessandro Dell'Acqua launched a line of hot-chic women's shoes and has recently signed a new licensing agreement with 60-year shoemaker Ballin. In 2001, his first fragrance for women was licensed through EuroItalia, with an ad campaign by Helmut Newton featuring Helena Christensen. His men's fragrance was launched in August, 2003. In the spring of 2002, an eyewear line was licensed through Visibilia. A men's shoe license with Rodolfo Zengarini began with the Fall 2004 season.
Alessandro Dell'Acqua was born on December 21, 1962, in Naples. He received his degree in graphic design from the prestigious Accademia di Belli Arti. At the age of 23 he was given an exclusive worldwide contract to design for Genny, one of the leading Italian fashion houses, working alongside Gianni Versace, who also designed a line for them. He soon became Creative Director of Pietro Pianforini, a luxury knitwear label, where he developed an extraordinary talent for working with wool, cashmere and jersey. In the years following, Dell'Acqua designed for a multitude of top Italian brands, including Iceberg, Les Copains and Mariella Burani.
Alessandro Dell'Acqua believes that art and fashion are closely intertwined. He has collaborated repeatedly with American video artist and photographer Vanessa Beecroft. For the VB46 show at the Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles, Beecroft's models wore nothing except Dell'Acqua shoes with angular metal toes and heels, and for her wedding, he designed both the bride and groom's ensembles. He contributes regularly to charities for children and for AIDS research.
In 2003, Alessandro Dell'Acqua joined forces with the Redwall Group, whose brands include the luxury apparel and accessories label Borbonese, for which Dell'Acqua serves as Creative Director. Together, they have opened an Alessandro Dell'Acqua store in Madison Avenue in New York.
