Chock-full of clear PVC pieces with sleek silhouettes and metallic accents, Philosophy s Fall collection was a departure from the lacy, feminine fare we re used to seeing from Alberta Ferretti s younger line. But the designer is back to her roots again for Resort, which featured sunny patterns borrowed from the hand-painted Majolica porcelain found on southern Italy s Amalfi Coast. The traditional terra-cotta motif made a splash on cargo shorts, head-to-toe tailored suits, and peplum shifts that nicely rounded out some of the more predictable pieces here, like summery bohemian maxi dresses with macramé detailing.
