If I were to be in the city of Portofino right now, this look would be my first outfit being there. A black jersey body suit with a neutral delicate floral light silk/cotton over coat with a pair of dark gray strappy sandal heels. Featured at the Alessandro Dell'Acqua Spring Summer 2003 collection. Subtle sexy without being too over stated and just pure relax elegance. Alessandro's style is about a rich Italian women that has a eclectic style of 40's and 50's with a modern confine twist. I just wish more women can dress in a sensual way rather than baring it all. What ever happen to the mystery of sexy?

When it comes to sequin detailing, to me personally thats an automatic couture detail. Especially with this number from Alessandro Dell'acqua Spring Summer 2004 collection. It was about ultra feminine with a a 1950's twist. Shift sequin dress with floral print and jeweled neck and arm outline. This dress was also featured on the cover of Italian Vogue May 2004 of Daria Werbowy. It's a dress that you've got to wear at a big fashion event with minimal makeup, silver clutch bag and simple strap heel. It's not how you wear it, it's how you work the dress.
