Milan Spring 2013: Gucci, Alberta Ferretti

(MILAN) Gucci
When Frida Giannini Gucci archives digging, anything can happen-but it's safe to say the results will remember la dolce vita of some sort. For Spring, Giannini looked back to the golden era of the 1960s, in which a long tunic, oodles of ruffles, and a major statement jewelry is a must. Are you ready for a pantsuit Fuscia? What about the palm-print pajama pants? Cobalt, turquoise, chartreuse, black and white are the key players here, with a python minidress thrown in for good measure. A set of very intricate necklace and coral earrings, worn together and calculated the all-white look, is one of the most fascinating discoveries.

Alberta Ferretti
In the hard-edged, Ferretti lightlanded approach this feels very welcome. The soft, sea-inspired Spring collection was an amalgamation of what designers do best-beautiful draping, intricate beadwork and inspired, and a neutral color palette of successful singing. Punctuated by a shot from periwinkle, and wrapped in satin pants trompe l'oeil tank, and offset by shades of dark teal and turquoise, watery effect anything but watered down. Case in point? Floor-length, v-neck dress made from a variety of patched-together pieces of lace blue over green chiffon. A mermaid-esque dress with a pattern of fishing nets is one of the most interesting red carpet looks we have seen so far, but it looks-finals that Ferretti embroidered corsets in seaweed, with a liquid-skirt that combines the overall concept.
