Watching Fendi’s fall men’s show, with its twisting aerial tracks above the runway transporting silvery pinball-machine orbs in a mesmerizing display, it was difficult to take one’s eye off the ball.
Attention back on the clothes, it was equally hard not to make a quick mental tally of what each outfit must cost, considering the sumptuous components: hand-painted, antique-finish leather coats and shearling jackets; long puffer jackets inleather; hand-woven cashmere totes stuffed with cashmere blankets, and crocodile boots with Cuban heels.
There’s a personal backstory to the theme: When she was living in New York in the ’80s and working at Bergdorf Goodman, Venturini Fendi used to wear a one-shouldered top under her “normal” clothes so she would be ready for a shimmy at Studio 54 after work — or a spin at the Roxy, then a roller rink. The designer reprised those one-shoulder styles for men as sexy sweaters — or an offbeat striped dress shirt that offers a nip slip with every step.
Fendi’s slender young models sometimes looked overwhelmed by their long layers of luxury, double-face cashmere blanket coats and loose sweaters often sprouting extra swags of fabric to wrap around the body, like the pashmina brigade of yore.
