Designer Autopsy...Fendi Fall/Winter '09/'10


Everyone is familiar with Fendi as the Italian fashion house known for their famous "F's" print on handbags. But Fendi's clothes is definitely not the first thing that comes to mind when you hear about this Italian-bred fashion company. Fendi's clothes are known to be very trendy but at the same time conservative. Each season follows these same guidelines, making each and every Fendi piece a long lasting collectible. For this upcoming season, Karl Lagerfeld most definitely kept in mind that a recession was taking place, because now more then ever, his ready to wear line for Fendi reflects a timeless feel about it that still seems very current at the same time. But Lagerfeld did not play it safe, which makes this collection so beautiful. Most people will not go out and purchase this leather bustier top, but its relatively low price for such a sculptural piece of wearable art still keeps it in the horizon for those fashionistas who like to stay on the avant garde side. Some of the high points of the collection were this effortlessly chic wool cardigan, this gorgeously mohair detailed high waisted wool skirt, this ultra cute faux bustier top, this romantic yet military inspired wool dress, and this fitted wool shoulder detailed dress. But my favorite piece of the whole collection was this ingenious pair of skinny wool pants. I love how it's Fendi's take on a pair of leggings; it's cropped, designed of wool, and can be worn as a trouser or as a casual pair of leggings. The greatest part about the piece, though, is it's incredible price point that makes it a true find. Hopefully Karl Lagerfeld will keep on delivering ethereal Fendi clothes in seasons to come.
