Well here is something that retailers might like to overhear
on the selling floor… “The collection is so beautiful, I really can’t make up
my mind, and I want them all!”
And that would be a proper introduction for the Alberta Ferretti
collection for fall 2013. As an
overview, Ms. Ferretti has mad e good use of her restrained decorations and embellishments,
provided an ample section of jackets which are beautifully tailored, upped the
“chic quotient” to perhaps a new level for her and showed this enormously
uncomplicated, in your face, buy me now and wearable collection!.. How’s that?
There are some great coats, great dresses for day and
cocktail, and some beautiful gowns which range from the tailored looks of
decades gone by and to the sexy illusion looks which are flooding fashion
circles. There is this sort of graphic deco
feel and some Cecil Beaton My Fair Lady influence that permeates much of the
collection. Yes, it might be due to the
fact that so much of it is white accented with black but I am not sure that is
it as there are many white pieces which seem to border on the pristine and
virginal. Make no mistake this is a not
a collection that will be considered far flung and costumey.
The end result is this very commercial and very tasteful
collection that can satisfy the needs of new and old clients alike ... and I do not mean age wise but yes that
too! My favorites are the pieces with
the vertical stripe of embroidery, the austere blue evening suit, very Lee Radziwill
I think, and of course some of the white and black pieces as well.
This is a lovely way to start the Milan collections and
hopefully it will be a shade of things to come during the next week or so.
