Alberta Ferretti SS 2026 show
- Lorenzo Serafini’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection for Alberta Ferretti framed Milan Fashion Week around private-life dressing, with cream tunics, caftans, pajama-loose pants and pleated chiffon replacing louder runway theatrics. - The key motif was “In Confidence”: Serafini described a wardrobe for living at home with loved ones, then pushed it into evening with Greek-style draping, leopard spots and flashes of gold. - The show marked one of Serafini’s first full-season statements after taking over Alberta Ferretti in October 2024, with Philosophy folded into the brand from fall 2025.

Lorenzo Serafini used Alberta Ferretti’s Spring/Summer 2026 show in Milan to argue for clothes built around privacy, ease and entertaining at home. (albertaferretti.com) (wwd.com) The collection opened with cream looks that matched the showroom’s wall-to-wall carpeting: liquid tunics, deconstructed linen suits, wide pajama-cut trousers and airy caftans. (wwd.com) (iodonna.it) Serafini said he was thinking about “the perfect wardrobe to live in a private space,” and the house labeled the collection “In Confidence,” built around discretion, intimacy and a close circle of friends, family and lovers. (wwd.com) (albertaferretti.com) That idea shaped the construction. The brand described draped blue and black gowns, pleated chiffon dresses, organza trousers, silk-organza capes and sheer shirts designed to balance softness and structure. (albertaferretti.com) The show did not stay whisper-quiet. After the pale opening, Serafini moved into coral, orange and aqua, then into oversized leopard spots and metallic finishes that pushed the collection from private restraint toward public glamour. (iodonna.it) (albertaferretti.com) (wwd.com) WWD tied the mood board to 1970s hostess Tina Chow, and described moccasins, kimono-like dresses and scarf-simple tailoring that favored movement over the stiff, photo-first shapes common on runways. (wwd.com) The collection also landed in a transition year for the house. Aeffe named Serafini creative director of Alberta Ferretti on October 15, 2024, after founder Alberta Ferretti stepped back, and said his first collection for the brand would debut in February 2025. (wwd.com) Aeffe also folded Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini into Alberta Ferretti from the fall 2025 season, turning this Spring/Summer 2026 outing into a clearer read on how Serafini wants the main line to look after the handover. (wwd.com) (albertaferretti.com) What emerged was a collection that started with cream minimalism and ended with leopard and gilded eveningwear, while keeping Serafini’s central claim intact: comfort can still be dressed for the front row.
