MILAN, October 6, 2000 – The models at Alberta Ferretti never looked hurried or
overly styled. They smiled sweetly as they walked the
runway; the attitude at a Ferretti show is always as
casual as the clothes.
Ferretti relied on small touches to give her looks
personality: topstitching on practical navy coats,
delicate embroidery on sheer day dresses and
contrasting edging on the hems of her light skirts.
Diagonal pleats, strategically placed darts and
occasional ruffles gave the looks plenty of
body-skimming movement. Ferretti also showed sleek,
bright orange jackets, sexy wrap tops and a
sensational draped dress with a knot in the front. For
evening there were long caftan tunics with contrasting
trims and subtle beading on the neckline.
