Simplicity and Romance by Alberta Ferretti, Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2021 | FashionTV | FTV

FashionTV Presents: Simplicity and Romance by Alberta Ferretti, Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2021 The designer drew inspiration from loungewear and lingerie to create easy, relaxed silhouettes with embroideries and delicate lace. Ferretti’s approach is always practical and dictated by her attention to real women’s needs, she offers plenty of everyday “wardrobe” pieces. Pastel-hued denim is her alternative of choice; high-waisted, tight pants are paired with lingerie-inspired bustiers and pretty bralettes. Alberta Ferretti is an Italian fashion designer and dressmaker. She designs for her namesake brand Alberta Ferretti, and designed for Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti until 2014. Her showroom is in Milan, Italy but her studio is in her native village of Cattolica, near Rimini, Italy. Ferretti is known for her designs featuring twisting, tucking, and draping techniques. Her style employs a subtle layered look, sometimes showing a hint of hand-beaded gauze which extends slightly beneath the hem of a wool dress. The erotic qualities of the chiffon and jersey fashions she introduced for her spring 2008 fashion collection is evident in the look of her dresses. Many of them are cut high in the front and draped low in the back. Her target customer is the cocktail crowd. Specifically the dresses are party frocks, above the knee, and enhanced by rhinestone rosettes and armour-like chain mail. Feretti's collection includes pleated bubbled coats, toga-like minidresses and skirts,
