How do you convince the younger customer to swap their streetwear for tailoring? We think Silvia Venturini Fendi might have the winning formula.
For the Men’s Fall 2019 show, she wanted to entice this new generation towards the classic silhouettes, but in a typical Fendi fashion, smart jackets and trousers came with a twist.
Most of her suits offer a relaxed fit and are presented in a series of quirky combinations. From two-tone blazers and satin trousers with contrast pockets, to cropped band blazers accented at the shoulders to the cleaver use of silver thread on some of the separates.
It didn’t feel overly formal with some sportier pieces such as knitwear with crossbody zips, a gold parka, chic track pants, nylon bags (including the very first Baguette for men with multiple straps), abstract graphic prints and trilby hats as well as caps – but note, there wasn’t a sneaker in site.
Functional and stylish, now this is a smart collection you can take to the streets.
