Alberta Ferretti Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

The ss2010 collection of Alberta Ferretti was radiating peace and quietude. Not models but angelic figures showed off the designs in pastel-shades like beige, pink, lilac and blue. It was merely a show of dresses. A few times they were alternated by skirts or completed with a blouse or jacket. The designs were made in every possible length and decorated with flowers, ribbons and bows. Due to this fact and because of the use of see-through and shiny, silky fabrics the collection breathed softness and romance. The loose fitting designs, the delicate draping and pleating gave the clothes a Greek/Roman touch, which we’ve seen before in Ferretti’s designs. Apart from a couple of belts, a few hats and some bags the models didn’t wear any accessories so all the attention was focused on the clothes in which the models floated off the runway.
