There was a new addition to the couture schedule this season: Karl Lagerfeld’s Fendi.
The designer decided back in February that he would present a dedicated fur collection during July’s week of high fashion, noting the reason for doing so because there was not space for it among the ready-to-wear line, which he said had been doing especially well.

And so came haute fourrure, a first for the house, which translated into a substantial 37-piece collection of fur coats, capes and scarves or feathery dresses and shrugs with corsages perched throughout at their collars.
“I don’t know if we will do it every season. You know, it’s not on my contract, so I don’t know. I’m too busy perhaps to do it all the time,” Lagerfeld told WWD.
There’s no denying he is busy right now. Not only was there this new offering from Fendi but also his Chanel couture collection on Tuesday (a casino-themed extravaganza), plus the launch of a new book to celebrate his incredible 50 years as creative director at the Roman house (he’s also been at Chanel for over 30).
Entitled Fendi by Karl Lagerfeld, the book is a compilation of interviews and drawings, his signature sketches in black pen outlined in crayon strokes among the highlights.
