The new Fendi Fall 2014 Collection makes a splash on the runway at Milan Fashion Week. Dark, opulent and beautifully tailored, the new collection does not disappoint, keeping up with traditions of the Italian label’s history in stunning collections.
The Fendi Fall 2014 Collection is full of contradictory styles that touch on brutal, poetic, constructed and fluid styles all at the same time. Being able to make clothes that are both femininely romantic and strongly tailored is a talent, and Fendi always seems to get it right.
Using superstar model Cara Delevingne to open the show in a fitted parka and a mini Karl Lagerfeld doll set the mood for the rest of the show, which featured lots of voluminous silhouettes with fur coats, shin-long skirts and sneaker looking ankle boots.
