Alberta Ferretti made a grand entrance with her Resort 2024 collection in Rimini, where fashion and cinema collided in a breathtaking display. The choice of the location, near the Sismondo castle that houses the Fellini Museum, was a perfect homage to both Ferretti’s birthplace and the iconic director Federico Fellini, known for films like “La Dolce Vita” and “Amarcord.”
Staying true to her mission of empowering women through fashion, Ferretti presented a collection that perfectly encapsulated her romantic and passionate aesthetic. Each garment effortlessly combined tangible and ethereal elements, resulting in a mesmerizing experience akin to watching an enchanting movie. Every piece exuded a dreamlike quality, serving as cherished artifacts of self-expression.
In discussing her inspiration for the collection, Ferretti revealed, “Despite my extensive travels and curiosity, I always find myself drawn back to my hometown. Rimini is my sanctuary, filled with lively individuals and a strong sense of camaraderie. The mesmerizing beauty of nature, from the sea to the hills, constantly inspires me. I often take drives to the hills and let my mind be filled with beauty. Nature serves as a constant source of stimulation.” This love for Rimini was evident in the color palette of the collection, which ranged from tranquil beige to earthy browns, lush greens, serene blues, and fiery reds reminiscent of the city’s captivating sunsets.
The Alberta Ferretti woman portrayed in the Resort 2024 collection epitomizes effortless elegance. Her daytime wardrobe consists of longline vests, flowing trousers, ethereal trench coats, and zippered blouses. Lightweight blouses, suede skirts, and elegant coats further enhance her style. As the evening sets in, she transforms into a femme fatale, donning shimmering capes that exude luxury and allure.
The entire Resort collection showcased a beautiful fusion of refinement and strength. Ferretti’s choice of weightless fabrics, such as chiffon, washed silks, reverse satin, and iridescent taffeta, added an ethereal grace to the ensembles. She also incorporated metallic printed denim and luxurious suede, providing a resilient edge to the pieces. Whimsical embroideries elevated the garments, offering an exquisite level of detail and artistry.
One of the most heartfelt moments of the show was the touching finale. 32 local volunteers, who had tirelessly aided those affected by recent floods, graced the runway wearing Alberta Ferretti’s “Io ci sono” (I am here) sweater. The proceeds from the sale of these pieces will be donated to charitable organizations supporting the emergency relief efforts in Emilia Romagna.
Alberta Ferretti’s Resort 2024 collection served as a testament to her creative brilliance and dedication to empowering women. The show in Rimini not only showcased her exceptional designs but also celebrated the city’s rich history and natural beauty. Through each piece, Ferretti skillfully transported the audience into a world of romance and passion, leaving them captivated and inspired.
