FENDI F/W 2011-2012

Fendi's woman is apparently austere, actually has a strong sense of humor; she wears blouses with belted collar embellished with ruffles. She's a woman who has fun in the game of color contrasts and wearing headbands with punk studs. Great importance to the outerwear, declined in many variants of the trench with big pockets, bolero jackets and reefer with leather and fabrics; magnificent fur, a mix of sable, chinchilla and fox. She shows off male socks and sandals with high heels. 

Karl Lagerfeld. Percorso di lavoro

At Chiostro del Bramante in Rome, Kaiser Karl tells about himself through the ad campaigns for Chanel and Fendi, portraits of celebrities, editorials for all the international magazines, to arrive at private photographs that tell his travels, memories, aesthetic appeals and his love for Paris, his adopted city since 1953.

The exhibition is divided into two sections, the first dedicated to fashion, portraits, landscapes and architecture, the second dedicated to more experimental productions. The Kaiser Karl's exhibition offers the chance to admire the great artist's creativity, exposing for the first time in Rome, all that his eye was able to capture.
