19/9/2014 - Miniature bag-watching at Fendi

The first thing you see when you walk into Fendi (and many other) stores these days is the bags. Maybe this gives designers more freedom. Think of bags as the West End blockbuster that HAS to make money and the clothes as the (heavily) subsided theatre. So where do we start a review - with the bags or the clothes? The heart says the latter. On the other hand those bags are outstanding. Perhaps more than any other brand out there apart from Chanel, Fendi has established a tight cadre of highly recognisable styles - Baguette, Deux Jours, Peekaboo and now the By The Way - that are so distinctive they can be endlessly played with and still come out on message. Alligator-ed, pastelled, Karlito-ed, jewelled, flower embroidered; those Fendi bags can take it all. Like Alice in Wonderland they come in all sizes, but next spring they will be especially popular in those rinky-dinky miniaturised versions that are of no earthly practical use to any woman other than as an extra pocket. Or perhaps, like the models on the catwalk, she'll attach them to her larger Fendi, which like the Mother of all Stars now comes with a constellation of teeny baby Fendis attached to her. The crocodile tail on the By the Way has been converted into a hair accessory and shoe embellishment. Watch those cash registers ring. A less robust designer might give up on the ready-to-wear at this point and simply send out some nice black trousers. Not Karl Lagerfeld and his team. Like the bags, these clothes come in all sizes: short, fit and flare flower embroidered silk dresses, organza pleated maxi skirts, wafty feathered red carpet and some intriguing pastel knitwear with clear plastic top layers. These could have looked like Petits Fours wrapped in cling-film but they were rather pretty, if not entirely practical. There's a shimmering intent there that is probably a work in progress but may well make its way at some point on to the bags. In his show notes, Lagerfeld talked about fashion and architecture being one of the favoured expressions of avant-garde culture in the early 20th Century . "The past and history are now beyond "good and evil" as Nietszche would have said," wrote Lagerfeld …"inspiration is like the desire of the Italian heart. But it has to be filtered and transgressed. It's an interpretation we should not try to explain." That will relieve many a Fendi customer whose greatest desire right now will be to get her hands on a Fendi bag.More news:2014 prom dresses usa | cheap evening dresses usa
