While Alberta Ferretti's dreamy, feminine chiffon dresses have become a signature, the designer is also a concrete and pragmatic woman, and her fall collection reflected this attitude with a series of beautiful tweed pantsuits and sophisticated tailored coats. extent.
Ferretti played with a contrast between masculine and feminine elements, as in a striped suit with gold threading, but admitted that he wanted to see his clients “reinterpret and coordinate” the looks as they desired, and not in a dictated way. But it's not hard to imagine them wanting to follow his lead, wearing a shiny embellished and embroidered knee-length skirt under a shearling biker jacket, for example. The designer often jazzed up looks with sequins, gold coin-shaped details, ruffles, and metallic nets and mesh, but without going overboard and with just the right touch.
Ferretti's evening dresses, from lace-embroidered boudoir-inspired slips to the new trompe l'oeil motif on feather-light column dresses, cemented her status as a go-to designer for the red carpet and other social events. She cue up the front row with Eva Herzigova and Ashley Graham leading a group of several stars and models, who were spoiled for choice with Ferretti's lineup.
