Color blocking, exquisite tailoring, 80’s leather and beaded eveningwear were the “trends” of the Fall 2009 Alberta Ferretti show.
Although the designer didn’t necessarily have a theme in mind, she did take modern design elements predominantly shown on the runways these past seasons and incorporate them into a wearable line for her clientele.
Softer fabrications in shades of aqua and magenta bounced off neutral tones of grey and champagne in matte wool fabrics. The show finale ended with an Edwardian inspired skin-tone gown with a heightened shoulder that was a definite jaw dropper.
Black leather skirts and dresses, draped in asymmetrical cuts add a sophisticated feel to this 80’s look.
