Alberta Ferretti Fall / Winter 2017

MILAN — Dateline Milan, full credit to Alberta Ferretti for an injection of sensuality and unabashed levity in the form of days-of-the-week jumpers worn over gowns and other runway looks at the finale by the models, who assembled on a riser at one end of the cross runway. Anything for Instagram! It might have only been Wednesday, but with The Cure’s 1992 saccharin-pop classic “Friday I’m in Love” being played, it certainly made it feel like the weekend was already upon us. On the afternoon, a half dozen models at Next including Blanca Padilla, Grace Elizabeth, Leila Goldkuhl, Alanna Arrington, Elizabeth Salt, and Odette Pavlova featured on the runway. Front of house, Caroline Vreeland raised her wine glass high seated front row. We are in Milan and are in love.
