Alberta Ferretti
Designer: Alberta Ferretti

• “Alberta Ferretti’s show was dedicated to a softer sort of femininity.” [AFP]
• “Could be labeled minimal Victorian.” [AP]
• “Although she played spare this season, cutting back on the embellishment, this was nowhere near ‘minimalism.’” [ELLEuk.com]
• “A striking palette, delivered with Alberta Ferretti’s feminine touch, makes for a Fall 2013 collection that’s both a little punchy, and at its core, absolutely lovely.” [FabSugar]
• “There was romance here, but in a way that felt controlled, demure, and even a little fragile.” [fashionologie]
• “Alberta Ferretti has never shown a vulgar dress in her fashion life. But her collection Wednesday was more than usually innocent.” [International Herald Tribune]
• “The first thirteen looks of the collection, gave a graphic edge to Ferretti’s ultra feminine take on fashion. But it also came as a nice surprise from a designer who has always embraced the power of color.” [NOWFASHION]
• “Ferretti’s girls appeared as dainty Russian dolls clad in short lace frocks, mini-crinis, fitted velvet jackets and glittering flats. There was an air of Victorian romanticism and majesty that made them look like youthful, perfect princesses, trussed up in finery by their proud parents.” [SHOWstudio]
• “If a romantic fin de siècle mood is Ferretti’s default position, she aced familiarity and authenticity with her new collection.” [Style.com]
• “Not only was her mood upbeat and assured (is it ever anything but?), but the selection she presented was also thoughtful and carefully executed.” [Vogue.com]
• “Cleaner and more graphic aesthetic–prim and pretty from the outset as opposed to just pretty pretty as she’s usually known for.” [Vogue.com UK]
• “With their romantic silhouettes and over-size Maltese cross earrings, all of the fresh-faced models at Alberta Ferretti looked like Renaissance beauties.” [Wmagazine.com]
• “A confident collection of lovely clothes demonstrated with subtlety and at times playfulness.” [WWD]
