Alberta Ferretti quits as creative director at brand she founded

The 2025 spring-summer show presented at the Milan women's fashion week last week was the last to be led by the 74-year-old.

"Forty-three years have passed since my first fashion show. The enthusiasm and passion I have towards my work and towards fashion are unchanged, but I believe that at this point of my career it is a right and conscious choice to pave the way for a new creative chapter for the brand I founded," Ferretti said in a statement.

The group, which also owns Moschino and Pollini, said a new creative director would be announced in coming months.

Known for her sensual style, Ferretti, who will remain a vice president of the Milan-listed Aeffe, designed some of the outfits worn by US pop superstar Swift on her "Eras Tour" this year.
