Alberta Ferretti presented her limited edition couture fall 2016 collection in Paris. Before the show, Alberta Ferretti said, “I always start from dreaming. What’s interesting is when the dream becomes the reality.”

The show opened with a group of fringe dresses, each utterly distinct in kinetic charm, followed by an intricate embroideries, lush, and often boldly 3-D. Sheer bodices were stitched with pearls, shells and swirls which reminded last season’s undersea theme. The show ended with thicker, stiffer materials in black paired with gold. The last model strode in a grand ball cape. See the full runway images and the video below.
