AEFFE S.p.A., founded in 1980 by Alberta and Massimo Ferretti, manages the production and distribution of prestigious brands, both owned and licensed, in the ready-to-wear and accessories sectors. Alberta Ferretti's experience is born out of her work as the creative director for the Alberta Ferretti brand first (1980) and the Philosophy brand later (1987). Alberta Ferretti is a fashion visionary whose neo-romantic style seems to be put to the test by modernity. Her outfits, portrayed by some of the most celebrated photographers such as Helmut Newton, Steven Meisel, Steven Klein and Paolo Roversi, tell stories about different women who all have in common the same sensuous, sophisticated and extremely feminine attitude. Countless celebrities choose Alberta Ferretti's styles. Alberta Ferretti's products are sold in single-brand boutiques in the major cities all across the world.
