Milan Fashion Week 2010 Womenswear - Fendi

Fendi...one of Karl Lagerfeld's fashion houses with the help of Silvia Venturini as designer also, has decided this season to go back to the roots of Fendi, but not by just recreating what the brand has made before but just by the basis of creating a stronger collection with more focus on materials in their natural state. The runway was back dropped with an amazing Fendi wall and the colours were inspired from an Edward Hopper exhibition in Rome that Mr.Lagerfeld had not too long seen and deemed incredible!

The lines and silhouettes in this showing were amazingly clean and tailored, the fabric choices were stellar and just looked extremely luxe, the wools, the furs, it was all incredible but what stood out was just the brilliance within the styling and the mix of the fabrics. The lengths of the coats and skirts were on trend for this season which as we have been seeing is beneath the knee and full in proportion, the coats were unique and the coat dress resurfaced. The colours that inspired Mr.Lagerfeld were quite captivating so I can see why, with nice deep blues, yellows, greens, greys, browns,an oxblood red and of course, Black, all which were tossed around the looks via clothing or accessory. Another great highlight was that couture-esque Astrakhan dress with the strips detailing.


Now onto the accessories, the bags were very nice but let me waste no more time and get straight to what will be a coveted shoe this season, some killer boxer chic booties with a rubber cap toe, they came in so many different colours and fabrics such as ostrich leather and suede.
Well you know we couldn't have a Fendi show or better yet anything by Karl Lagerfeld and not have a serious fashion following, none other than my inspiration and future boss, Rachel Zoe was in the front row, looking amazing in a leopard print coat...I say "I Die", as she must have been saying throughout the whole show...because it was so her, vintage and glamourous.
I am very happy to say that i have backstage photos as well because I like to see the models in their own comfort zones and how they act in the clothing is amazing, it just gives you a better vibe of how it'll actually be off runway...sometimes its much better to me! Also, Anna Wintour was backstage as well as the man himself, Mr. Karl Lagerfeld.
Congrats on the rebirth of Fendi!
