Mood board: Fendi walked straight down to leisure town for spring, mining the world of wide-legged sweat pants and work wear-inspired coats and jackets along the way. Of course all of it came crafted from luxurious swatches of fabric and leather - not cheap, pilling cotton - but the mood was distinctively urban chill.
Best in show: Silhouettes this season were big and bigger, giving wide-girth men plenty of ways to cover up next spring. The best of the boxy looking coats were crafted from an exotic snakeskin, dip-dyed to create an ombre effect.
Finishing touches: If you’re not sure if the guy in the elevator is a repair man or your neighbour’s date, all you have to do is look at his visor. In Fendi’s case, that comes crafted from luxuriously stiffened leather or matte crocodile.
