Fendi recently held a mesmerizing fashion show, where they showcased their luxurious collection and stunned the audience with a captivating performance by disco legend Giorgio Moroder. The event was filled with clever and humorous elements, like baguette bags made of shearling that resembled fresh bread and oversized denim blousons crafted from mink or shearling.
The set of the show was equally impressive, featuring a series of silver disco balls on an elevated track that circled above the heads of the 1,200 guests. The popularity of Fendi was evident outside the venue, as hundreds of fans and street photographers braved the chilly weather in hopes of catching a glimpse of the action.
Once inside, the atmosphere became electric when the lights dimmed and 82-year-old Moroder took the stage. A specially created original score perfectly complemented the innovative collection, pushing the boundaries of tailoring. Unique designs like grey felt shirts that transformed into ponchos and fray-hemmed mini capes reminiscent of couture with a touch of Clint Eastwood were featured. The collection also included single-sleeve tops in shiny aquatic chenille or anthracite cashmere, as well as ankle-grazing double-breasted topcoats, tapping into a major trend in menswear. Some pieces even had ragged trim for added edge.
Silvia Fendi, the brand’s menswear designer, shared her vision for the collection backstage, expressing her desire for the clothes to be both sexy and comfortable. She aimed to create pieces that would make people feel good, whether they were going out during the day in relaxed attire or shining bright at night. Fendi also wanted to capture the idea of seamless transition from work to dance and back again.
The collection was beautifully accessorized with stylish totes featuring raised lettering logos and multi-pocket fanny packs. Fendi played with geometric monograms and logo designs, incorporating them into chunky cashmere scarves, mohair throws, and weekend totes. Reflecting the optimistic mood in Milan, Imperial Roman purple, the fashionable color of the season, was prominently featured in leather pants, rawhide letter bags, and deerskin shirt jackets. The show culminated with a thunderous applause as Silvia Fendi took her bow, solidifying the success of her fashion statement.
Fendi’s collaboration with Giorgio Moroder and their forward-thinking designs have further cemented their position as a leader in the luxury fashion industry. Their ability to create collections that are both innovative and wearable continues to captivate fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
