Alberta Ferretti

Alberta Ferretti is style, femininity, elegance, sensuality and glamour. Her passion for fashion begins when she was very young and inaugurates a career full of personal achievements, style and business. In 1980, Alberta Ferretti and her brother Massimo Ferretti created Aeffe SpA and, the year after, she debuted as Creative Director of her own brand at the Milan Fashion Week. The rapid global expansion - coordinated by the four showrooms in Milan, Paris, London and New York - leads to the opening of a number of boutiques in the most important fashion and luxury capitals of the world. These successes will be worth many awards. Among them, in 1998 she was appointed Cavaliere del Lavoro by the President of the Italian Republic Oscar Luigi Scalfaro. In 2000, she received an honorary degree in Conservation of Cultural Heritage for the recovery of the medieval village of Montegridolfo. In July 2005, she received the award in Rome for her professional commitment and for her work in promoting Italian culture in the world. Also in 2005, the International Fashion Group with Anna Wintour awarded her in New York for the prize “The Romantics” for the annual Night of Stars. In 2018 Alberta Ferretti partnered with Alitalia airlines to re-design the iconic uniforms. Her designs were unveiled in June and will be officially launched later in 2018. Interpreter of a desire for beauty, charm and personality, the most important celebrities and international socialites wear her creations on the most photographed red carpet worldwide.

diesel

Diesel has long been a leading pioneer in denim and casual fashion, known for moving outside and ahead of trends in its industry. While retaining always its DNA, in recent years Diesel has evolved into the world of premium casual wear, becoming a true alternative to the established luxury market. Despite Diesel’s extraordinary growth, its philosophy is the same as when Renzo Rosso created it in 1978: he envisaged a brand that would stand for passion, individuality and self-expression while brand continues to blaze its own trail. Diesel thrives on change: every new product derives from a process of enormous creative freedom, ensuring constant innovation. The collections include: Diesel, Diesel Black Gold and Diesel Kid. Diesel is not just apparel and denim: it’s a lifestyle, which has been interpreted through licenses with leading brands to develop watches and jewellery (with Fossil), eyewear (with Marcolin), fragrances (with L’Oreal), helmets (with AGV), strollers (with Bugaboo), and a complete Living Collection (with Moroso – furniture, Foscarini – lighting, Scavolini – Diesel social kitchen, Seletti – tableware and Berti – wooden flooring). Diesel is a truly worldwide organization. It is present in more than 80 countries with 5,000 points of sale, including more than 400 company owned stores.
