Simply Abu Dhabi XXII

2 7 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I The collection features iconic bags like Peekaboo, Baguette and By The Way reinterpreted in a creative and artisanal way, stronger than ever and in line with the garments of the collection. On the other hand, Fendi’s dualism is again expressed with the new bags: the Dotcom and Micro Double Baguette. “The new bag, the Dotcom, is like having two bags in one because it’s a very structured and functional bag, but, at the same time, you can take out a small flat pouch from it. A multifunctional aspect that has been reworked with creativity,” affirms Silvia Venturini Fendi. “In the new Micro Double Baguette you also have one side in plain leather or python and, on the other side, it’s embroidered – like a night and day bag together,” continues Silvia Venturini Fendi. The lace-up workmanship, a macro handmade embroidery, is one of the major themes for accessories. It stitches up all the sides of the Peekaboo and Dotcom bags in soft nappa leather together with a more precious version in mink on Peekaboo and Mini Peekaboo and a Mini Peekaboo in lace up python. The Multicolor Intrecciato Peekaboo family bags can be personalised with one’s initial on the front. Strap You is one of the greatest protagonists of this spring/summer 2016 Fendi fashion show, a stand up alone accessory that can be used on any bag to give a cool and a fashion touch and presented with great colour contrasts and combination of materials. Shoes feature fur flowers with studs and include woven leather sandals and patent open-toes with a sculptural heel. “The shoes are also very interesting because they feature a double heel. I think really opposites and double are the key words of this collection,” concludes Silvia Venturini Fendi.
