Now that the collective so called fashion media has used up all their depends and talked around the collection but instead spoke about Kim’s blah blah blah, let’s now talk turkey and yeah well it was pretty much a turkey fest or if I was to be kind it was bunch of very formal gowns, most of which bordered on the molto signora side except for the obvious ones and a few that were beautiful, I guess by accident.
The fact is that no woman ever said I must own that Fendi dress, sweater, skirt, pant or any piece of clothing but you did hear them say I gotta have that baguette, that bag, that luggage, that fur or that logo canvas that started the logo craze almost 50 years ago. So, my question is why would you have an “it” designer create, no less, a couture collection of basically generic looking, been there done that clothes that say nothing about the brand.
It’s one more time much ado about nothing ... look closely. You can see stitch work at the hems, clumsy heavy-handed draping at the necklines and waists and lots of oh well another long dress for the mother of the bride. Who’s kidding who here, Fendi is all about fur, leather, handbags, luggage and small leather goods never about any type of wearing apparel. Its only allure when it came to apparel was when Karl designed it and that was weighted far more by Karl’s name than by the Fendi brand! People forget that Karl saw the impossible and made it possible.
