ALBERTA FERRETTI
IF trends could be taken on a day by day basis in Milan, day one could be two-fold: black, and sheer.
With Gucci's dark allure still in mind, the Alberta Ferretti line-up looked ready to take it head on; the blouses just as translucent, the dresses just as bejewelled - only this time the jewels were mixed in with woven leather ribbons and feathers fashioned into flowers.
But where the Gucci woman's femininity was tempered by military shapes and a touch of dandyism, Ferretti's romance was given a masculine edge via mannish pinstripe cashmere coats and bulky, scoop-necked fisherman sweaters.
Jewel-coloured fur coats in red, emerald, purple and burgundy were belted in shiny alligator, while the house signature silk slips overlaid in pin-tucked and draped matching chiffon were romantic and pretty as ever.
