Fendi Fall/Winter 2017-2018 collection

Optimistic colour combinations are infused with energy while athletic styles are easily wearable everyday. A fresh vocabulary empowers a profoundly personal statement of one's all sense of self.

A new lexicon for self self-expression has been created. Pragmatism and creative passion coexist in harmony with styles that seamlessly blend fashion and function.

Pastel and primary color tracksuits were worn under layered check overcoats, shearlings and felt leopard-print coats that were incongruously triggered by “Fat” Pat Butcher, an emblematic matriarch from the British soap opera "EastEnders". Fur was inserted on outerwear collars and sleeves, or in full fur pieces with colored slogan side panels.

Most items, said Mrs. Fendi, were reversible “because they are quite expensive pieces, so that is the value.” This was advertised by inside-out topstitched topcoats and jackets. This collection reversed perceptions, too.
