After the death of Karl Lagerfeld in February, Fendi paid homage to its legendary creative director with the fall 2019 runway show, unveiling the designer’s last collection. But the company remains silent about the future of the top creative spot. Even if Lagerfeld’s passing clearly left a huge void to fill, Fendi continues to navigate the challenging waters of fashion. No loss of direction, no hesitation: instead, the brand presented a beautiful resort collection that offered a powerful take on its signature sophistication. Fendi is a company built and developed by women, which Lagerfeld always took into consideration with his celebration of a strong femininity. Now, at least for the time being, the house’s creative team is once again being driven by women, especially Silvia Venturini Fendi, who in this transition phase developed the collection with the brand’s design studio. In light of this, the muse who inspired the resort collection could only be a woman, in particular Jeri Dawn, the protagonist of the Eighties classic “Gloria” who was played by Gena Rowlands. Her attitude, strong and decisive yet deeply emotional and sensitive, infused the development of the lineup, which combined a sartorial sensibility with a delicate sense of romance.
