Dell'Acqua's love for the exotic women of classic Italian cinema drives his collections of curve-hugging, sensual clothes. Since 1996, the designer has been cutting womanly silhouettes with occasional frills and cut-outs, and mixing luxe textures—jersey with chiffon, for example—to a smoldering, womanly effect that has caught the attention of current American screen stars. He's also got sexy shoes and a fragrance. In 1998, he launched a men's line with the same sense of cinematic sex appeal.
