Alberta Ferretti s dressmaker sensibility is a trump card in a season that s all about the pretty-vintage look. Her abiding love of fluttery fabrics, allied to her ability to cut a nice coat, made for a collection that trod a light path through the current trends.
Opening with a soft, raw-edged tweed coat, Ferretti hit on an easy direction that stayed just the right side of prissy. Using a motif of circular cuts with unfinished seams, she whipped up little silk dresses with multiple tiers in absinthe green, dusty amethyst, faded harebell, and poudre pink. For warmth—it s winter, after all—she added printed fur jackets and stoles, opaque tights, and chunky wedges.
With their hair in slightly mussed bouffant ponytails and their eyes smudged with dark eyeliner, Ferretti s girls projected a kind of undone, retro glamour that made the prospect of winter dressing-up look almost easy.
