To kick off Men’s fashion week in Milan, Alberta Ferretti presented Resort 2019 collection alongside Limited Edition line, and the new official uniforms she has designed for Alitalia.
Focusing on the Resort, suggestive atmospheres of freedom and leisure have been drawn from an image of a young Ali MacGraw, told through inspirations from streetwear with elements originating from workwear that had a dose of modern curiosity of travel towards unexplored lands. It feels youthful, energetic – ideal for women on the go who want a functional wardrobe with plenty of style.
Fleece fabrics, stonewashed jeans material give life to skirts, dresses, trousers and tracksuits, portraying dynamic daywear, embellished with embroideries, inlays and high-level craftsmanship typical of the Ferretti universe. Don’t worry, romantic dresses are still present but they have something urban and free-spirited about them. Chiffon and silk dresses fluctuate, in constant motion, creating the light, delicate silhouette.
Tribal style dresses were on point, but it’s the carefully crafted separates that fans of the house will be looking to fill up their wardrobes with. Ideal for mix and matching, it’s the folk jackets with fringing, cargo trousers and sweaters with velvet that will be snapped up. Also note pieces from the mini-me line that reminded us of childhood mornings watching Disney’s Pocahontas.
Hero piece was the cropped sequin cape in black with orange and white crystals styled over a black dress, buckled belt and boots evoking the bohemian seventies spirit that could be felt throughout the collection. Ferretti had fun designing these pieces that are as flamboyant as they are sartorial, and we will have fun wearing them.
In the show, Alberta Ferretti paid a homage to the charm of the Alitalia logo which she printed on t-shirt, a sweatshirt and a sweater. She has also showcased the limited-edition pieces like the male tuxedos entirely embroidered with diamond-cut sequins, cape tuxedos and sensual dresses in organzine silk, that transmit a party atmosphere that would have been very popular with a timeless icon like Bianca Jagger.
