AUTUMN WINTER 2023
After dark blooms
Alberta Ferretti's work arises from the continuous dialogue with women, from the observation and
exploration of the richness and complexity of female psychology, translated into clothes designed
to become objects of affection, tools of expression, extensions of personality. This never-ending
conversation is for Alberta a way to evolve the codes and nuances of a deeply personal style, made
of impalpable balances and contrasts, both ethereal and present, strong-willed in its delicacy, subtle
in the choice of a soft incisiveness. A style which is intrinsically romantic, in the most passionate
sense of the term.
It is a rose, red and carnal, that condenses the romanticism and seduction of this collection: printed
on silk voile, blown up on velvet, in the coiling shape of its petals the rose guides the story of the
season, made up of nocturnal sensations, of an after dark allure that pervades all hours of the day.The night,
after all, is not just a moment, but an intriguing way of presenting oneself, revealing mysteriously to attract.
With their wide-brimmed hats, perched on sculptural heels, the Alberta Ferretti women are memorable first
and foremost for their silhouette: long and liquid, enhanced by the palette of blacks, hematite and dark
grays, mixed with false blacks such as plum, with sensual touches of ruby and cherry red and cosmetic notes
of powder, turquoise, teal. It is only by getting closer, under the light, that one perceives the play of textures,
the amalgamation of wool, velvet, tartan, chiffon, devorè, fil coupè, lace, macramé.
