“Bright and delightful palettes are emphasized this season to reflect the mirage in life. What seems to be delightful and pleasing often carries a heavy, more somber underlining. Pop soft colors such as Carmine Rose,Angel Falls Light Blue and Roasted Cashew earthy tones combined with gothic-inspired graphics reveal the dark side of the story, the side that remains unknown, private, and personal.”
“Forthisseason’sshowcaseinMilan,ArtisticDirectorofFENDI Couture and Womenswear Kim Jones explores classicism and elegance through the lens of subtle subversion. Drawing inspiration from the wardrobe of jewelry designer Delfina
Delettrez Fendi — the daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi— the designer plays with binaries and gender archetypes in a deconstruction of ladylike sophistication. Masculine tailoring is twisted into feminine forms throughout the collection, including boilersuits, aprons and uniforms. Lace is layered and flashes of fetishism appear through peeks of lingerie or thigh-high lace-up boots, while draped dresses are bias-cut. In a punk perspective, knitwear appears cleanly slashed or gently warped for a nonchalant silhouette. The wardrobe includes satin dresses romantically trailed by billowing scarves.The Italian house also introduced the new FENDI Multi bag, an homage to the multipurposesensibilityinnatetoFendi.“
“Fringe fashion has been around for years, but it’s fringe status only really began to take shape during the late eighties and the nineties. Back then, fringe fashion was defined by a number of different styles that were all quickly embraced by fashion followers. As the fashion world was shifting, so did the styles of these particular individuals. With this in mind, we can see a few of these fashion trends from the early days of fashion.”
