In what amounts to a return to her roots, Alberta Ferretti will organize her next cruise show in Rimini, Italy, according to American media reports. The show will be held on May 22 of this year.

This year's cruise show season is set to be an exceptional one, with plenty of sunny and iconic destinations, which are rich in symbolic significance. A case in point is the latest event announced by Alberta Ferretti, who has chosen to return to her native region to present her cruise collection. On May 22, the designer will convene the fashion sphere in the city of Rimini on the Adriatic coast for a show that will pay tribute to a film legend, WWD reported.

The fashion house aims to take advantage of the mid-season show to celebrate the memory of Federico Fellini, who was born in Rimini 100 years ago, the journal said.

Alberta Ferretti is not alone in presenting her cruise collection in Italy. Chanel will organize its cruise show in Capri on May 7, which will be closely followed by Dior's presentation in Lecce on May 9. However, other international destinations are also on the program. Hermès will hold its cruise show in London on April 28, Versace and Gucci are planning to travel to the United States for events that are respectively scheduled for May 16 and 18. Prada will decamp to Japan for a show on May 21, and Max Mara will host its event in Saint Petersburg on May 25.
