Today in Milan, Karl Lagerfeld did for the letter F what the Kardashian family has done for the K. Yes, with futurist fringes and fierce feet ruling the runway, the Fendi show was top-to-toe fashion.
According to the seat notes, inspiration for the show was “a world where Italian Futurism meets tropical travel,” which goes some way to explaining why models sported identikit sharp, graphic fringes that were dyed Caribbean blue.
The travel aspect could also explain the seatbelt style buckles on those slingback sandals, though those flared chrome heels might set alarm bells ringing when you walk through the metal detector at the airport.
Footwear came teamed with socks and stockings in checkerboard motifs, proving without a doubt that it’s hip be square. Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel and Fendi, celebrated his 84th birthday on Sept. 10.
Meanwhile, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the parent of brands including Fendi, Sephora, Bulgari and Hennessy, powered ahead in the second quarter. LVMH revenues rose to $11.5 billion in Q2.
