Even though Fendi is owned by LVMH and the Fendi sisters do not have anymore the majority of the company, it remains one of the most important fashion houses in Rome. I always take clients from www.grandtourshopping.com to discover the big flagshipstore in Largo Goldoni (Now under construction but it is still possible to see a lot fo things in the boutique of via di Fontanella Borghese. Speaking of the new headquarters, they are now in the area of EUR. Therefore Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi were inspired, in their, recent fall winter collection, by the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana. A kind of Gruyère that everybody knows that looks like a De Chirico painting. Speaking of fashion, I loved the panels of leather, the big coats and the quilted jackets and dresses. A sign that women need to be protected in these difficult times.
Trussardi in via Condotti, a great shopping moment
It is always a pleasure to enter in the Trussardi boutique in via Condotti. I went to the fall winter 2015-16 fashion show in Milano last month. Soon I will be able to take my clients to appreciate the new collection. Gaia Trussardi designed the new silhouette. Big pullovers over pencil skirts which is one of the new look of the season. I loved also the coats, the tailleurs in grey shadows. Have a look also to the accessories with midcalf boots, not easy to wear but fun.
A great visit to Emilio Pucci with Grandtourshopping
One of the aim of www.grandtourshopping.com is to explain foreigners the birth of Made in Italy. One of the best example is Emilio Pucci that started after the war with a quilted jacket for a girlfriend in Zermatt. Nowadays the brand is designed by a norwegian talented man, Peter Dundas, that will unfortunatly leave the Maison to work probably for Roberto Cavalli. In Milan I saw his last fall-winter collection. Very colourful and inspired by horoscope with cuissardes, long dresses and miniskirts. The palette is white, black with lots of red. Mister Dundas we will miss you but I will keep on taking my tourists to the roman shop in Piazza di Spagna hoping that hoooligans are not going to come back soon.
