Alberta Ferretti is a master of ephemeral style - 'soft' and 'sheer,' 'pretty' and 'breezy.'
She is also known for her use of luxury fabrics in her creations.
Considered one of the most inventive designers in Milan, her decisive cuts, beautiful
construction and soft silhouettes are proofs of her design genius.
Her creations usually have a dreamlike quality, wherein she usually add an unexpected
twist, making them not just beautiful but also very interesting.
Blending romanticism and functionality, Alberta Ferretti has become one of the fashion
powerhouses in Italy.
She also designs the label Philosophy.
Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti has been dubbed, "the guiding light" behind the powerful
Italian fashion group Aeffe.
