Runway Report: Fendi | Milan Fall 2019 RTW

By

The 54-year fashion collaboration between The House of Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld was truly an epic story. And this collection served as the denouement.

By

This Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2015 collection looks like a modern-day version of the opera, Carmen. There were many glorious in-CARNATIONS from the Matador’s traditional bullfighting costume, as well as, literal carnations in a large part of the collection. The Matador theme echoed through out each piece of the collection from: jackets, to dresses, to skirts, to shorts.
