A rare Alberta Ferretti dress from the Spring/Summer 1995 collection, seen on the original runway presentation. Crafted in fluid black fabric with a full silk lining, the silhouette is deceptively minimal at first glance — a clean scoop neckline, wide shoulder straps, and a softly flared A-line shape that falls just above the knee.
The lower half reveals the dress’s defining detail: sweeping tonal black beaded and embroidered floral scrollwork rising from the hem on both sides, meeting a continuous sheer embroidered mesh band along the bottom edge. Intricate floral motifs — curling vines, stylized blossoms, and delicate leaves — are rendered in black jet beads and tonal thread, creating texture, depth, and subtle luminosity that transforms with movement and light.
The contrast between the restrained upper silhouette and the richly embellished lower construction reflects Alberta Ferretti’s signature balance between romanticism and refined sensuality.
A true archival collector’s piece from one of the defining periods of 1990s Italian fashion.
