MILAN, Italy — Floaty dresses and a poignant brand of romantic femininity are Alberta Ferretti's forte. There were plenty of floaty dresses in the collection Ferretti presented today in the charming spaces of Rotonda della Besana - tiered, intarsia numbers with a faint Latin American vibe - but there were also a lot of tailored trousers.

Romanticism, meanwhile, gave way to a certain sensuality: the carnality of the grown-up body cinched by leather belts, closed in leather corsets, seen through transparencies.
