New fashion Ver. ALBERTA FERRETTI

ALBERTA FERRETTI continued the story of covert sexiness that we saw a lot of in London last week, this afternoon offering cocktail dresses with panels of sheer nude fabric interspersing juicy jewel colours of emerald, saffron, fuchsia and coral - it was almost as if the colours themselves were tattooed onto the body in geometric markings.

More modern and less girly that she often prefers, Ferretti took a Twenties slant too – it’s fast becoming the decade to look to for spring/summer 2012 - and smothered the drop-waisted, cowel-backed dresses in seed pearl embroidery  or larger white beads that gave them a more tribal feel.

If they weren’t in dresses, the girls - with their loose, towel-dried hair – strode out in pyjama style suits of black or ochre that had more chiffon strips criss-crossed around them, one great belted trench and another boyishly loose khaki shirt worn over a crochet pencil skirt in bold stripes of red, brown and black.

The seed pearls came again on fine mesh tops, teamed with more bright crochet, and then a palm frond print added a new jungle-esque element. The finale of black dresses – with heavily beaded uppers and lacy patchworks to the floor, carried with handbags that had long fringes noisily dragging behind them – were a good combination of a more recognisable Ferretti woman with this new slightly more rebellious one.
