TRIBUTE winter 18 : FENDI

Although Fendi always screamed Northern Italian  person afraid of getting cold, this collection seemed for me stuck in 40's and 80's, in East-Berlin, under not-so-legal substances. I must admit I was a bit reluctant towards it, and I bought all of its items from the bazaar for almost nothing... which is kinda make me sad actually. Once you get used to be around those stuffs, they are quite fun to play with. It kind of reminded me of once when I was sick at home (the only time eheh I'm a Northerner also myself), obliged to watch old German TV series - hence the header (sorry Fendi) cos there's nothing else to do. It's quirky and old fashioned, but also kinda ridiculously fun and enjoyable.

So, I literally dug in the bazaar, head first, and I found out that the only stuffs that I bought were coming from only one outfit of the runway. Once I've looked up on Vogue the entire collection, I noticed that SD was far from some very interesting pieces, as you will see below. The main lesson I will learn from this fashion speleology class will be navy-blue + fur + stripes is fun, sassy and finally a classic combo that deserves more attention.

Interesting choice of outerwear and stripes.


Stripes and other interesting stripes patterns.


Interesting use of the navy blue and stripes.

That outfit is the best. It's so random that it kinda makes my eyes bleed, but it also attracts my attention. The only thing I wanna do is to dislocate it, but keeping its vibe. I did no fancy montage like for the other tribute articles, just cos I found it so funny that I ended up buying this whole outfit without knowing about it.

From this Tribute shop

- FAUX MINK BOMBER: this is the most interesting piece of the collection ; the fur is perfect, the color is not funky weird and the pattern is just so cool... too bad it is zipped up tho, it's reducing drastically the possibilities of styling *****

- PEACH LEATHER SKIRT: ok, that is the real wtf piece of this collection, but it is also very lovable. The color is not that bad and you can always use a midi skirt in your wardrobe... definitely good to wear with a sharp sense of humor *****
- TAN JADE HANDBAG: a classic, perfectly executed. The details are insane and it changes from the basic dark colored handbag *****
- SHEER SOCKS: you can never have too many socks ; tho these ones are white, so they're coming with an upper lever of difficulty to pair *****
- WOODEN HEELS: they're sleek and fun. I'm not asking anymore stuff from them *****
- erratum ; those glasses were from another collection and I'm too lazy to take the capture again sorry not

There is definitely a quirky-punk vintage vibe here. And nothing screams more that idea than an awful family reunion - I'm not going to bother you with Inspector Derrick I promise.

So, let's have fun with this for a sec...

Outfits: 

Défaite de famille.
