Description
Sculpted fluidity meets couture romance in an architectural top that drapes like liquid silk.
An exercise in artisanal draping, this Alberta Ferretti top reimagines the classic silhouette through an asymmetric lens. The twisted construction gathers and releases the fabric across the torso, creating sculptural folds that flatter and move with the body. The deep, fluid drape at one side lends an almost Grecian sensibility — a nod to the house’s signature interplay between classical femininity and modern Italian sophistication.
Crafted in Italy from a featherweight silk-georgette or cady blend, the fabric catches light along its gathered planes, lending depth and movement to every gesture. The asymmetric hemline and twisted front detail transform a simple top into a statement piece — equally at home styled under a tailored blazer or worn solo with high-waisted evening trousers.

Composition & Materials
- 100% Silk (silk cady / georgette)
Italian silk cady possesses a weightless drape with a subtle matte sheen that catches light along every fold. The fine, tightly twisted yarns result in a fabric with exceptional fluidity, ideal for sculptural garment construction. It feels cool against the skin and maintains its structure while moving like water.
Styling
Pair with high-waisted tailored trousers in black or ivory for a refined evening look, letting the asymmetric hem and twist detail remain the focal point. Tucked into a fluid satin midi skirt, it creates an ethereal occasion ensemble perfect for gallery openings or intimate dinners. Layer under a long wool coat for daytime drama, allowing the draped detail to peek subtly at the neckline.
