An opulent guessing game of texture and technique, the Fendi Couture Fall/Winter 2018/2019 Collection dances between sublime tradition and new realities in Haute Couture Innovation

Exquisite fabrics blur the lines of memory as frayed organza and fringed chiffon become trompe l’oeil surfaces and sintesi mosaics.

Panier gowns and opera coats are remixed in a swirl of rosettes, lace and hand-painted embroidery, whilst the tailleur is trimmed in ermine or encrusted sequins.

Innovation illuminates a precious future, where the Orphist approach to ‘pure painting’ is tempered by Neoclassical rigour.
