Fashion icons Silvia Venturini Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld showed their FENDI Spring/Summer 2019 collection at Milan Fashion Week, where supermodels Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid all walked the runway.
Combining a utilitarian but feminine aesthetic, the collection featured a palette of sage, cognac, burgundy, sand, white, orange and denim, as well as a variety of fabrics, such as summer wool, leather and PVC. Though the collection drew inspiration from masculine shapes, it still felt distinctly feminine, embracing the woman’s body and accentuating it with fitted silhouettes and accessories like waist-cinching belt bags.
The eye-catching FF logo had a bold presence on the runway, embossed in leather, printed on PVC and knitted into wools. The Spring/Summer 2019 Accessories Collection, designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi, showcased the iconic Peekaboo bag and its DeFender waterproof shell. For added interest, the bags have interchangeable handles and “novelty utility pockets, echoing tool belts with pouches.”
Additionally, FENDI’s famed Baguette bag made a welcomed appearance, donned in sequins and even in a new, oversized shape with soft, embossed logo leather—the same leather on the new Upside Down folding envelope bag, which also features an FF logo clasp.
