Alberta Ferretti has unveiled its Spring Summer 2026 collection, “In Confidence,” a proposal centred on a woman of substance who chooses discretion over exposure and keeps her world tightly held among friends, family and her partner.
The concept positions privacy as autonomy, with the collection framed as clothing for a hostess intent on creating joy in a private dimension.
Creative lead Lorenzo Serafini sets out the brief as “offering clothes that enable an alternative approach to modern lifestyle,” adding that rethinking romanticism led to an emphasis on privacy as freedom, a condition that allows people to “talk freely, love freely, and live freely.” He describes the value of discretion as powerful and chic, aligned with a progressive romantic sensibility and the woman he designs for.
The wardrobe balances boundaries and display to prioritise presence and intimacy. Reformed classicism anchors the approach, with eveningwear shaping the narrative. Draped gowns in blue and black recall Greek statuary, their necklines and shoulders punctuated by flashes of gold at the waist or collarbone. Pleated chiffon dresses echo classical silhouettes and use transparency to catch the light and signal the sensuality of movement. Across the line, draping and pleating express softness and strength to reconcile structure with fluidity.
Tailoring underscores definition through self-determination. Jackets open over vests and bra tops and are paired with trousers cut in organza, viscose and linen. Small capes in silk organza and printed linen fall with the weight of drapery, while sheer shirts frame glimpses of the body. The materials palette is expanded by oversized leopard spots printed on organza and pony skin, while metallic notes in gold and silver eel add a controlled eccentricity.
Footwear is kept close to the ground to reinforce an idea of refined ease, with loafers, slippers and thongs proposed as the collection’s anchors. The house presents the line as an affirmation of its feminocentric mission for Spring Summer 2026, offering garments designed to amplify strength with grace for women who choose to live “In Confidence.”
