ILLUSTRATION: Fendi Autumn/Winter 2017

Was so inspired by the collection from Fendi (see post) that I decided to illustrate one of my favourite looks from it. This look stood out to me because of the mixture of textures and combination of black fabrics. I adore the details as well as the silhouette, and the overall styling of this outfit is so subtle, wearable and chic.

This illustration enabled me to experiment with creating different textures. Obviously with the use of Adobe Photoshop, I was able to achieve this look, however, this year my aim is to strengthen my Adobe skills. We'll see how it goes...

FASHION IN FOCUS - Fendi Autumn/Winter 2017

So glad I cam across this past collection from Fendi because there is not a single thing I don't love about it. The first thing that stands out to me are the colours; I absolutely adore the kinky pops of cherry-red leather, the different textures of black and most of all, the sheen of the oxford blue printed fabric.

I absolutely adore the addition of the over-the-knee boots, they are such a statement. Add in some midi length skirts and dresses that allow a peak of the shiny leather, pair in some classic pieces such as a collard coat or a shirt dress. The macrame-like cut outs, fantastic knits and geometric prints are just a bonus.

One look from the collection I desperately wish would translate onto the High Street is the one worn by Bella Hadid - mind you, it's not too far off from what we are now seeing on the daily. I think it might just be the red thigh-highs that we're missing.
