Oh to be one of Sofia Coppola‘s girls… The aesthetic of the clean girl with a rebellious, strong, and self-assured spirit dominates the director’s filmography and AlessandroDell’Acqua‘s latest collection. Sensual and self-aware, it’s a kind of fashion that speaks to the girl hidden inside us that at least once we’ve all dreamed of being and who isn’t afraid of anything. But above all, not afraid of anyone.

Moodboard
N21 shows us once again how anything can become inspiration: in this case, it’s the films “Lost in Translation,” “The Virgin Suicides,” and “Marie Antoinette,” all by Sofia Coppola, that open the doors to fashion, revealing a feminine beauty that isn’t afraid to dare, that knows its own value, and that celebrates personality in its almost childlike purity which, at the same time, doesn’t allow itself to be intimidated by the outside world. In the end, we’re all weirdos, as the Radiohead soundtrack playing in the background of the fashion show reminds us.

Our Favorite Looks
Bon-ton, chic, effortless, and united by the bow element, the runway looks play with contrasts and layering, between transparent and heavy fabrics, between neutral colors and touches of yellow, pink, and red, between color blocks and sequined elements; last but not least, the unmistakable floral pattern, lingerie pieces, and sophisticated cuts that distinguish N21 and are reinvented. The attitude is impeccable, fascinating, and unique, just like the feminine essence.

Details
Maxi clutches, mules with bows reminiscent of Marie Antoinette, oversized shapes alternating with more linear silhouettes, feathers, thin belts, knee-length skirts, oversized coats and sweaters, refined shirts, pastel colors, premium fabrics, and school uniform collars connect the looks like a common thread while, at the same time, giving each one its own identity. Good girls, bad girls… Anyone can wear N21, regardless of their attitude.

Beauty
KIKO Milano‘s makeup-no-makeup enhances each model’s natural beauty, making her the best version of herself. The base consists of a very light foundation with a matte effect, where contouring beneath the cheekbones highlights each face. Nude shades dominate both lips and eyes for a monochromatic effect. Defined eyebrows and the almost total absence of mascara, framed by hairstyles that respect natural textures and play with either gathered styles or soft finishes, complete the almost angelic aesthetic.
