Alberta Ferretti is still being designed by its namesake (fun fact: the Aeffe group turns 50 next year). She might retire soon though.I often look at SW’s work and wonder why this lady has never been asked (unless she was and politely declined) to take the creative reins at one of the many houses who do flou (Nina Ricci or Alberta Ferretti are the first ones that come to mind) but presently prefer to dabble with the generic (the latter) or the faux avant-garde (the former).
Why is it that ppl in charge of making these sort of decisions would rather eat their own s**t than hiring someone with real talent and designing skills?
She still needs a design director nonetheless. Michele Manz did wonders in the late 90’s early 00’s and the brand has never been as good since she moved on. Plus the brand has practically no image coordination, unless you count what Franca Sozzani unofficially did in the same period. The Paris store on Fauburg SH is probably the single, ugliest thing in the whole street.Alberta Ferretti is still being designed by its namesake (fun fact: the Aeffe group turns 50 next year).

beautiful & feminine clothing, as per usual
(however, this model must have the knobbiest knees ever lol)
Her and the likes of AF Vandervost, Damir Doma, Chalayan, Veronique Branquinho,...should all be back !!! Imagine if they all started to make their name in the mid 2010s instead of earlier, i bet they would have been a lot more recognized.
Such a waste of talents
