Juxtaposing Dark Blue and Black has always been an iconic trait of many Fendi collections. Introduced by Carla Fendi and then order continued by Karl Lagerfeld, this symbol repeats in many runways, including those from 2001, 2002 and 2014.
This piece is clearly inspired by that colour combination and is made of a polyester crepe fabric. It is well maintained and shows only minor signs of wear after many years. It has half-length kimono-style sleeves and a V neckline. It may be worn also by larger sizes although the label indicates an Italian 38, equivalent to a 34 for Europe or 2 for US.
About the brand - An Italian family business that began in 1918 with a fur and leather shop, Fendi officially became a fashion house in 1954 under the direction of Adele Casagrande Fendi. She worked closely with manufacturers and gained notoriety for using unusual and forgotten pelts. She also introduced color to fur. In the mid 1960s Fendi hired designer Karl Lagerfeld who designed their famous inverted double F logo for the label. The direction of the company changed from a small luxury fur line to a high profile label synonymous with elite status.
