At Dubai Fashion Week, Alberta Ferretti presents Portrait of a Lady, the Autumn Winter 2026 collection designed by Lorenzo Serafini, transforming the runway into an intimate, almost suspended space where fashion becomes both narrative and revelation. It is a contemporary portrait of femininity, built not on excess but on restraint, on measured gestures and on a grace that arises from authenticity.
The woman envisioned by the maison does not wear clothes to be seen, but to express who she is. Silhouettes flow lightly, following the body without constraining it, while soft draping, calibrated sheerness and precious fabrics engage in a dialogue with natural movement. Each look is designed to accompany rather than dominate, conveying an idea of sensuality that is deep, quiet and self-aware.
The colour palette, sophisticated and enveloping, enhances the relationship between light and matter, celebrating a beauty that does not seek validation. In Portrait of a Lady, the female image radiates its own essence, becoming a symbol of inner strength and delicacy, of modernity and memory. Lorenzo Serafini interprets the DNA of Alberta Ferretti with a cultured and contemporary eye, remaining faithful to the sartorial poetry that has always defined the house.
The choice of Dubai as the setting reinforces the international scope of the collection, placing the language of Italian elegance within a global, vibrant and ever-evolving context. Here, Alberta Ferretti reaffirms its vision, demonstrating how fashion can be both intimate and universal.
