Despite the fact that Alberta Ferretti's show started and ended with neutrals, there was plenty of color sandwiched in the middle. Inspired by "the poetry and mystery" of the wild world, Ferretti created colorful jungle-esque prints with an African vibe and solid colored ensembles that used a technique called intaglio to duplicate tribal tattoos. Certainly the sharp silhouettes and architectural lines give the collection an urban appeal, but the colors spice up plain silhouettes. I can see evidence of Ferretti's inspiration in the collection, but the show felt like it had two parts - or rather consisted of two different collections: the urban, sophisticated, feminine looks and those jungle print, safari-inspired looks. I wasn't a huge fan of the second part, but the solid colored looks that went down the runway were simply beautiful. I loved each and every hue.
