Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Wool & Silk Blend Blazer

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Wool & Silk Blend Blazer – Made in Italy (c. Early 2000s) A rare, exquisitely tailored piece from Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti — designed during the period when Alberta Ferretti herself was still deeply involved in the creative direction of her diffusion line under the Aeffe S.p.A. fashion group. The brand’s signature romantic Italian sensibility and precision tailoring are unmistakable here. Crafted in Italy from a luxurious blend of 51% virgin wool and 48% rayon, with pure silk contrast panels, this structured blazer combines heritage craftsmanship with an avant-garde, feminine twist. The fabric features a fine black-and-slate houndstooth weave, accentuated by hand-finished raw edges in chestnut thread and a ribbon tie-waist detail that cinches the silhouette beautifully. The upper yoke is softly gathered black silk, adding contrast and textural depth, while the tailored body creates an elongated, hourglass shape that’s distinctly Ferretti — romantic, intellectual, and quietly powerful.
