The casual era is officially over. Gone are the days of sweatpants and tees, rarely turning on our Zoom cameras to hide our unkempt selves. No, now we want to look our best, to hit the town in beautiful colors and beautiful garments. A recent collaboration between Alberta Ferretti and Neiman Marcus capitalizes upon this trend, bringing glamor and shimmer to modern eveningwear. The Alberta Ferretti x Neiman Marcus collection wants to help you look your best, and certainly feel your best, as you reemerge onto the party scene. 

Debuting at Neiman Marcus in November, the new capsule collection harnesses Alberta Ferretti’s grasp of feel-good glamor. We all want to feel opulent, to look like a million bucks. By partnering with Alberta Ferretti, Neiman Marcus makes this world accessible to more and more of us everyday consumers. Ferretti knows this well, having partnered with a large-scale retailer right in time for Fall: “ I am thrilled to collaborate with Neiman Marcus, a historic US retail partner, on this exclusive capsule collection in celebration of the return to glamour for the Fall party season,” Ferretti commented. That is the power of this collaboration, making this lush eveningwear available to a broader audience.

The collection itself is made up of eleven pieces, ranging from festive tops to floor-length gowns. A reversible faux-fur evening jacket is perfect for those who love to accessorize, while quasi-disco pants call for those who love to make a statement. As the collection’s landmark offering, a luxe Alberta Ferretti gown screams of grandeur and a love of life. All eleven pieces of the collection stand out in their own ways, but stay cohesive in their vision: strong, personal garments for those looking to look their best at the next function. 

After being stuck in our houses for far too long, the Alberta Ferretti x Neiman Marcus collection, available as of November 7th, is a fantastic way to return to our flourishing social lives. Clothing is an expression of self, a choice of identity that tells a story about who we want to be. The Alberta Ferretti x Neiman Marcus collection is certainly telling that story, allowing its wearers to feel empowered in their shimmering beauty. For those looking to grasp that spotlight and dance the night away, this collection could just be calling your name.
