It’s Fendi. There’s nothing to expect and that’s the issue…

I think LVMH should hire Alessandro Michele to work with Silvia Fendi as a full time tandem for Fendi menswear and womenswear.

Fendi womenswear under Karl had a very particular aesthetic. It was never boring, it was never bourgeois, it was always daring and I though it was on it own lane in the Italian fashion scene.
Fendi menswear unfortunately has never been that.

Fendi needs a stronger aesthetic because it doesn’t have the brand recognition of Dior to just exist with branded basics, it doesn’t have the hype of Vuitton and it cannot even go against Gucci because Gucci has more of a weight in terms of fashion and culture.

I think Michele knows Fendi, he respects Karl, he respects Silvia and she can limits his « costume » and « OTT » ways. He can bring back the Fun to the Furs and he is complete as a full designer.

This show, for all the money involved is already forgotten…And Silvia biggest achievement at Fendi, besides bags were her solo womenswear collections. Decisions have to be made.

I just watched the whole runway show on YouTube, and it's terrible in motion. First comes an insipid parade of stale womenswear cliches (backless shirts, bared shoulders, dainty little bags, skirts over pants, dress-like aprons, and even the short slicked hair recalls Brigitte Nielsen or 90s Sharon Stone more than any man), then it ends with perhaps the worst rendition of "unfinished" tailoring I can think of; every designer eventually tries his hand at this "basting thread" concept and everybody else (KVA for Dior, Galliano almost every season, Junya, etc etc) did it way better than this.

But who is the designer, anyway? I forgot Kim Jones is only at womenswear for Fendi, then I noticed his name was nowhere under the video.

Such a bizarre mix of references. I’ll say this- it feels very forced and in-your-face fashion. I never associated this type of fashion with Fendi, a brand like MSMG, definitely, but not Fendi.

Everything looks sloppy. Those skirts are an abomination.

 

[ah ah]

Something went terribly wrong at Fendi this season. This feels weak.

 

[susseinmcswanny]

Kinda pointless to even say anything about this but the cupholders are amazing in the way they remind me of that episode of spongebob where that guy sells spongebob and Patrick candy bar carrying bags and then invents candy bar bag carrying bags to sell to them too.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

The fit of the clothes is so weird... The shoulders are so slopey, so with the awkward cuts and strange collar proportions everything looks dumpy.

I don't understand it at all, but I also wonder if this is also influenced by the suits to have Kim Jones' women's wear and the men's look more unified so that one doesn't outdo the other. Can't have one sloppy collection then have Silvia churn out amazing men's, so they settle on both looking like a mess?

Fully agree on this, Lola. This smart move - as i pointed out earlier and still convinced about it - would make Fendi great again.

Nevertheless i really love some of the bags in this collection of Silvia.
She's one of the best to create and invent new styles with some wit and quirkiness to carry around that can become classics.

the clothes on the other side are not revolutionary as the were thought.
i am quite tired of this overwhelming gender-neutral trend in fashion.

i'm sure there is a somewhat nice collection hiding somewhere in here but the styling is just abysmal
how did julian ganio land this job?

I asked myself this question every season...

I must be in the minority but I do actually love the collection, the color scheme and ease make it very wearable. Some of the pieces I would never wear but there are several separates that are to die for. I wish they had left out the bizarre pieces like the skirts, the butcher aprons and carpenter belts and those tiny ties and shown something effortlessly Italian because it was already strong on its own.

The halter tops with sloppy collars are tragic; this collection should have never seen the light of the day - especially the body or swimwear on look 49 with the exposed hip ! I would die laughing is if I see it in the streets.
BUT the mink cardigan in look 43 is to die for...

 

[RaisinBoy]

Ouch what a dull show.
