Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Fendi continue on their quest to deliver daytime glamour that is modern, chic and manageable.

What does an accomplished and stylish woman wear today? Denim blazers, utilitarian coats with oversized pockets, and sporty bombers styled with neat secretary pleated skirts – well at least according to Fendi SS19 collection.
Staying relevant is the main objective for any house, as well as feeding the demanding millennial shoppers who love pieces drenched in logo – which to our delight we saw very little of, and when it did appear it was elegantly subtle. The focus was more on functionality. Multi-pocketed shirts and jackets, khaki belted trousers, cargo pants and mesh bombers that also featured plenty of storage space. Totes and belt bags offered extra compartments and it was all expertly bundled together in a fresh colour pallete of white, beige and navy with splashes of sunset orange and deep purple.
When taking a break from extremely stylish safari ensembles, there were pretty dresses to frill with layers of sheer fabric and floral embroidery. Tailoring was also strong, in particular the plum suit featuring a blazer that curved at the hips with gathered pockets and styled with slim cropped trousers.
Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Fendi should not worry about staying relevant, they are already ahead of many other brands with their take on how a woman wants to dress. The SS19 line is fresh, wearable and enormously shoppable.
