“They’re not ruffles, they’re waves,” Karl Lagerfeld clarified backstage before his Fendi show on Thursday.
And they had something to do with Einstein and his theory of gravitational waves, proven just this month to great excitement within the scientific community. Some say the confirmation of the theory may make time travel a possibility — but I digress. He (Lagerfeld, not the other genius) hates to get too high-minded when talking clothes, anyway. Waves; ruffles. Potato; po-tah-to. The collection centered around rippled lengths of various luxurious materials. It was fabulous(wwd.com).
Why yes,it is true . The collection was indeed fabulous.
Kendall Jenner started the show ,in a heavy, dropped-waist coatdress with a thin, wavy-line hem border. This topped light blue over-the-knee boots, all scrunched and bunched, with wavy .....um, ruffled feet. Yeah,the boots were weird and nerdy looking and me(nerd) loved them ! Then there were more ruffles on dresses , more over-the-knee boots (yay!!) , furry coats , dramatic sleeves , T-shirt over kilt. Along the way, Lagerfeld added his wavy appendages to sleeves, yokes, collars, hems and, yes, boots and handbags in wonderfully indiscreet colorways.
The waves were consistent throughout in his collection in patterns- patterns across t-shirts , dresses , hems of spectacular coats and so on .
Apart from the waves, what held everything together was that casual attitude. At a moment when many brands at the pinnacle of fashion are grappling with how to keep luxury compelling and relevant, Lagerfeld showed a collection that — a pair of Cruella de Vil coats aside — balanced tony flamboyance with an unmistakably rich-girl street cred.
