2010 collection was all about clothes so light they almost appeared to float down the catwalk.
One after the other, came models in wisps of pastel chiffon and silk georgette; if there had been a breeze in the stifling tent in the
Palazzo Senato they might surely have drifted away. Ferretti’s signature is her attention to hand-crafted detail and deftness of touch, so sure that even when the whisper-soft fabrics were embellished with floral embroideries, silver beading or crystals, there was never a note of heaviness.
She opened with a simple, white sleeveless, shirt-dress, worn with a crocheted ‘apron’ in grey, a look that was repeated throughout, and also suggested a country garden-party – something which was reflected in the sunhats and flat sandals.
A taupe chiffon jacket, with a tracery of roses on the sleeves was layered over an ivory, waisted dress to mid-calf; cream chiffon fashioned a shawl collar on a lemon linen fitted jacket, or else formed a swathe across the waist and hips of an ivory linen knee-length dress. Shorter, chiffon dresses with bra-bodices and flirty skirts just above the knee had a feel of the goddess. Longer dresses, in terracotta, lilac or filmy layers of taupe and pewter were as flimsy as negligees – and just as sensual.
