The name Alberta Ferretti has long been synonymous with flowing gossamer gowns. In 1974, she launched her signature collection and in 1984 her successful diffusion line, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti. In 2001 she introduced accessories, underwear, and beachwear for both lines. Her labels have gained an extensive Hollywood following including Christina Ricci, Natalie Portman, and Uma Thurman.
Ferretti inherited the love of fashion from her mother who was a dressmaker in their small home town in Italy. At 18, Ferretti brought designer labels like Armani, Versace, and Krizia local when she opened a small boutique called Jolly Shop. She and her brother, Mossimo, operate Aeffe, a manufacturing company that produces and distributes such labels as Moschino, Pollini, Basso & Brooke, and Jean Paul Gaultier.
