FEMININE CONTROL
Deconstructing the male gaze and appropriating it. Such is Silvia Venturini Fendi’s clear intention in this feminist collection – “half boudoir, half boardroom”. Leather, satin, (recycled) mink, lace and fishnet, tulle, leopard interact in a mostly powder-pink and black palette: codes are eminently feminine, inspired by undergarments. Shoulders are broad (straight or puffed) but waists are clinched. And corsets recompose, for a more dressed-up version. A wardrobe for iron ladies clad in softness.
