Karl Lagerfeld, Giambatista Valli, Doo.Ri, and now Alberta Ferretti!
Macy's has been pulling out all the stops recently, enlisting high-profile designers to team up with Impulse, the retailer's contemporary womenswear collection. Now, Alberta Ferretti has been revealed as the sixth and latest collaborator!
Ferretti has been designing since the 1970's and currently has two lines under her direction: the eponymous Alberta Ferretti, known for glamorous gowns and luxe ladylike attire, as well as It-Girl and street-style star favorite Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, a younger, more contemporary line. A name synonymous with romantic, uber-feminine, red-carpet-worthy looks and cool Italian style, her Impulse collection for Macy's will remain true to the iconic aesthetic she is known for. Macy's Executive Vice President of Marketing, Martine Reardon, adds "[Ferretti] appeals to an international consumer as well as American consumer, and her fabrications are very soft, very feminine, chiffon-like, drapey, comfortable, and really pretty, yet they look very elegant."
We couldn't agree more!
The designer cites her homeland of Italy, more specifically the Amalfi Coast, as the inspiration behind the line, offering "...the collection I created is fresh and bright, featuring light summer clothing that evokes the spirit of my beautiful country and is at the same time true to my style," as reported by WWD.
Expected to debut April 17th, her creations will be available right in time for Spring --meaning you'll be vacation-ready in no time! But act quickly --the collection will only be available for a brief 10-week stint.
We don't know about you, but we're daydreaming of warm, sun-filled Mediterranean getaways as we speak!
