Fendi’s Other Worldly Flora for Haute Couture FW17

Dreamlike details of out-of-this world florals were the inspiration for Fendi’s Haute Couture fall/winter 2017-18 collection, which debuted in Paris this week. From another planet, perhaps, blooms burst on garments with fishtail points, winged edges, and leather foliage. Intricate craftsmanship led to an array of new techniques, too: re-assembled mink as lace fabric for collars and cuffs; the creation of pixel confetti, where the same mink fabric is cut into countless disc-like shapes and stitched onto silk organza; and hand-painted landscapes grace wearer on shaved mink and silk pieces.
