N°21 (Numero Ventuno) Apparel

N°21, also known as Numero Ventuno, is a prestigious Italian fashion house established by designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua in 2010. The brand emerged after Dell'Acqua departed from his eponymous label, seeking a fresh creative outlet that combined modern aesthetics with traditional Italian tailoring. Its name is derived from the designer's birth date and luck, symbolizing a new chapter in his career.

In terms of production, N°21 is deeply rooted in the Italian manufacturing tradition. Most of its luxury garments, footwear, and accessories are produced in Italy through strategic partnerships with specialized factories, ensuring the 'Made in Italy' quality standard. In 2014, the brand entered into a significant partnership with the Gilmar Group, which oversees the production and distribution of the brand's collections, helping it expand its global footprint while maintaining artisanal quality.

The brand is currently owned by Alessandro Dell'Acqua, who remains the Creative Director and primary stakeholder, alongside the Gilmar Group (Paolo Gerani and family), which holds a minority stake and acts as the strategic partner for the label's industrial development.
