>> Alberta Ferretti's Spring 2010 presentation was both upscale and democratic: waiters circulated with champagne and caviar, on the one hand, but everyone also had the chance to be a front rower — there were no seats but there was a four foot high or so runway, allowing guests to get up as close as they wanted to the walking models, concert-style. The Italian contingent was out in full force — Anna Dello Russo in fiery Lanvin and nude pumps, Franca Sozzani — and the collection, full of fresh, gauzy, light minidresses had prints of eyes, butterflies, and lips — the last vaguely remniscent of Prada's iconic Spring 2000 lip print collection.

Alberta Ferretti Goes With Classic, Clean Philosophy for Fall 2009 Campaign
>> Steven Meisel photographed Alberta Ferretti's Fall 2009 mainline campaign with books swirling around the lounging models — apparently models and books are becoming a thing — but Alasdair McLellan, along with stylist Vanessa Reid, masterminded the more streamlined Philosophy ads. They went with two relative newcomers for the London shoot: Bailey Barger and Auguste Abeliunaite, who is most well-known for her teary turn on the Jil Sander runway.
