Fendi’s FW18 collection had a vibrant yet romantic feel with lively mix of patterns. Welcoming wardrobe staples full of softness and strength, all were reflected in constructive lines through an earthy toned palette: including black, navy, grey, camel and taupe and pink beige.
The first half of the show models pranced down the runway in tough silhouettes of boxy shouldered capes and belted city coats with planed sleeves, detailed with sunray pleating from the hip down. Intricate tailoring and luxe fabrics experimented with the concept of urban femininity, which reflected of super-slim light coats and Prince of Wales checks fit skirt suits.
With this collection both Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi showed their deep appreciation of the simple and elegant style of a woman; by displaying silk pleated dresses, pointy collared blouses adorned with lace, soft knitwear intarsias and elaborated weave work with beaded fringes.
Most ensembles were coordinated with Western looking boots in bright calfskin or knee-high heeled boots in satin or exotic stamped leather. Of course, the collection featured a newly constructed Double F bag a two-sided chain handbag held together with the ‘F’ frame on one side and the iconic Fendi stamp round logo on the other.
The logo mania collection paid tribute to the idealized uniform in today’s woman’s world. It all looked so chic and excessive, but fully in line with Fendi’s distinctive spirit.
