NYFW Homerun: Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011

Saccharine sweet standout is pretty in pastel

I’ve been perusing the various blogs out there reporting on New York Fashion Week, and although I’ve been mainly harboring feelings of petty jealousy (those show-offs!), I did happen to catch one fleeting image from Shopbop’s blog that made it imperative that I know more, immediatamente. The Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011 show is blowing me away! Talk about the whole package: exquisite details, a fresh color palette, simple silhouettes, a mix of lush textures, and a knock-out presentation (model walks out in coat, walks back without to reveal the inner layer). Although I am just a graphic designer, I have to give them crazy love for their use of hue, pattern and composition! Take a look and see if you agree:

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011[ One of my favorite tonal pairings: lavender and lilac.]

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011[ Fuzzy fur and satin sheen? I die.]

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011[ That gradation between lace and plaid is a work of art.]

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011[ I gasp at the subtlety of the color and the delicateness of that cotton.]

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011[ Matte/Shiny. Soft/Textured. Simple/Complex.]

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011[ Fluffy girly goodness reveals sleek mod sheath.]

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011[ Don’t you just want to touch these? I mean, really! ]

I know you may be thinking, “Wait, this is for Fall?” but just think how much this collection stands out from the burnt-oranges-and-burgundies-with-tweeds-and-camel that everyone else is doing.  Genius move, I say!

Seen any other inspired collections that you’re loving?

    Oh these are gorge! Who cares if they’re springish if they are so pretty and fun to look at!

    Have you seen what they’re doing at Anthropologie’s BHLDN? I’ve also seen alot on Rag & Bone which looks cool but not as much my thing.
