... sublimated by the hand of a German designer
As if the energy deployed by the girls Fendi was not sufficient, the latter decide 1965 to call on a young German designer whose name may be familiar to you: Karl Lagerfeld. The man who cut his teeth in the workshops of Pierre Balmain and Chloé accepts the challenge, and a new chapter opens for the Italian House, which will propel it, like Lagerfeld, to the rank of world star. Under the Lagerfeld era, the Fendi bags gain in brilliance and glamour. Like the ready-to-wear collections that are launched in 70s, the leather goods section showcases one of the materials that the House has worked on since its inception: fur. Slightly neglected by other haute couture houses, it is however on this material that Karl Lagerfeld sets his sights for his first collections. He tints it, combines it, braids it and shapes it to create modern and unusual models. It is this love for fur that inspired the German designer to create Fendi's famous double F buckle, for "Fun Furs", which aficionados of sacs vintage adore.
