Aseptic and lank. These are all just flimsy shrouds that barely contain much design, let alone couture. Better than most this season, but that really isn’t a proud achievement because this ends up still being incredibly forgettable.
Kim just doesn’t work well at Fendi. Even if the couture/haute fourrure seems a bit excessive (maybe even archaic) for the house, Fendi has always embodied a strong sense of joyful experimentation that helped push it forward to pull it away from being dated. There’s no fun and joy in this at all, just boredom. Very inoffensive so it’ll cater itself well to the mindlessness of the “fash pack” and all the “journalists”, but where’s the actual soul?
