light. The store was designed by Manhattan architect David Ling. It is a pristinely white shop. Ferretti signed a licensing deal with Procter & Gamble for a fragrance line in 2000. Fashion career Ferretti is known for her designs featuring twisting, tucking, and draping techniques. Her style employs a subtle layered look, sometimes showing a hint of hand-beaded gauze which extends slightly beneath the hem of a wool dress. The erotic qualities of the chiffon and jersey fashions she introduced for her spring 2008 fashion collection is evident in the look of her dresses. Many of them are cut high in the front and draped low in the back. Her target customer is the cocktail crowd. Specifically the dresses are party frocks, above the knee, and enhanced by rhinestone rosettes and armour-like chain mail. Feretti's collection includes pleated bubbled coats, toga-like minidresses and skirts, and a sparse number of gowns of soft mint green and white hues. The minidresses and skirts were shown with ethereal models wearing metallic gladiator flats. In July 2011 her collection was presented at the catwalk of The Brandery fashion show in Barcelona. She received the America Award of the Italy-USA Foundation in 2018.
