Alberta Ferretti's S/S 2014 collection is influenced by "countries where the culture of sunshine shapes the culture of life." Cue broderie anglaise dresses dripping with neat blooms and colourful ribbons.  


Frida Giannini  at Gucci used gauze netting, realised in suede, as one of two ongoing decorative motifs: it was used for sleeves, as an outer-layer over print dresses, or as panels at the small of the back or at the hip.
