Fendi Fall 2009 RTW Collection

Somewhere in designing this collection, Designers(Designer Toej) Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi arrived at a dynamic balance between confronting the current mood and creating a modern proposition for that problematic word luxury.

Things started out dark and intense with a black series of peak-shouldered outerwear and faux-distressed looks, such as a high-waisted bubble skirt worn with a T-shirt fitted with a yoke of leather that trailed off the back like the military garb of the old ages. That recurring theme played out in molded leather bustiers worn over draped knit dresses, some hooded, as well as in the accessories, namely leather wrist warmers and knee-high boots cut out across the arch of the foot.
