Fendi two years after Lagerfeld's death: Herzigová on the catwalk and preparations for Kim Jones' debut

Can Fendi manage without the iconic Karel?

Last February, the iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld left this world. Silvia Venturini Fendi thus had to deal with another new collection on her own. And it's out. I wonder what Karl would say. I'm not so enthusiastic about it, but the fact is that I'm a well known slanderer fighting for the normal human population. And I can't forget that Lagerfeld's influence on the history of the brand has been remarkable. He transformed the basics of working with furs in a revolutionary way and steered the Fendi fashion house through 50 years of unceasing innovation.

A genius that knows no borders

The desugnar was not afraid to push the boundaries; a true genius with a sense of bold aesthetics that influenced generations of designers. He worked in tandem with Silvia Venturini Fendi. Today, thanks to this creative pair, Fendi is synonymous with timeless quality, strong tradition, tireless experimentation and courageous creativity. Silvia had to go through the whole creative process alone now and come up with a new collection without Karel...

Karl loved leather and could work wonders with it. In this case, one would think that it's an ordinary coat. I see it as a return to the past. The wrong kind of past, when Germany was divided into the rich from the west and the poor from the east. The only thing this coat has going for it is its timeless neckline, and I really hope that the lady is wearing something under it, because at first glance I can't help but think back to those perverts from Petrín, who would jump out of the bushes, opening this exact coat and yelling "eso peso".

This, people, is what I wear at home. Silva went and stole the idea from me! I think I bought it a hundred years ago on sale somewhere in Dresden. I can only recommend it, it's perfect for laying around on the couch or in bed. I also wear it while cleaning or taking out the trash, but I wouldn't dare to go farther than to the bins. My boyfrind is already secretly hoping that this little number will mysteriously disappear during the spring cleaning.

Granny's dress

This model reminds me of my grandmother. Okay, my grandmother does have somewhat different proportions, but she owns this very dress. It's made for very good girls, or very naughty girls trying to act like they're good. And that epic little bag? I have it too! In red. Obviously, pink is better, but still. I remember the days of deep communism, when we all had one. So for me, this is very retro, but unfortunately the kind of retro that wasn't cool even back then, let alone now.

Goddess Herzigová

I'm glad that at least Evička looks pretty. I don't know if it was her own choice, or she could wear anything and look divine, but I commend this. Minimalist, decent, that's exactly what our beauty is like.
