Luxury fashion brands continue to prove that destination fashion shows are back in full swing, especially European houses making their way to the United States (see Gucci in L.A. and Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen in New York).
As Fendi celebrated it’s 25th anniversary of the infamous baguette. “It was almost like a character,” Jones said at a preview. As Sex & The City quite literally made the bag famous, “So I thought let’s do the show here, and let’s add in a few curveballs as we always do.”
Jones goes on to explain, “I was thinking about when I was first coming to New York and we would go out clubbing.” The collection screams 90’s club kid culture gone high fashion. The mix of utilitarian elements finished with crystal accessories galore. True to club kid culture the fashion house spared no opportunity to layer. Every look that came down the runway featured at least 8 pieces typically consisiting of headwear, top, bottom, layered bottom, leg warmers, and gloves with built-in Baguettes for days. Even baguettes had built-in baguettes.
