'-SPECIAL- "FENDI" 90s Karl Lagerfeld-era lattice fur cape

There is a tear in the fabric at the front neck

Since the brand was founded in 1925

We are pleased to present you with a special piece from FENDI, a brand that continues to captivate many celebrities and fashionistas and remains one of Italy's leading luxury brands.

This masterpiece, with its rich shadows, captures the beauty of the fur shapes that Fendi has been known for, with the minimal structure of a cape rather than a coat.

First, regarding the era, the piece we saw last time features "FENDI ROMA" woven in gold thread against a black background, a name tag with a double F design at the top, and the direction of the material manipulation and decorative density make it a piece that strongly connects to the atmosphere of Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld's era from the late 1990s to early 2000s. As we cannot read definitive information such as the season code in the image, we must avoid making any definitive statements, but since it is consistent with the Fendi approach of "telling luxury through material processing" seen in the late 1990s to early 2000s, in other words, Fendi's expression of lightness and fabric-like editing of fur, we can conclude that it is highly likely to be from this era.

The fact that it's a cape is the core of the design, and by having no sleeves it falls as a single layer from the shoulders to the hem, allowing the black to change appearance continuously as you walk or move. The neckline stands out three-dimensionally, and the drape that flows forward creates a vertical line, which gives the cape's distinctive volume a neater silhouette rather than just making it appear "big."

The rose decoration elevates the surface to a sculpture; rather than being printed, the motifs are made of wrapped satin ribbons and arranged in a petal-like pattern, forming a band. This clearly separates the areas where the decoration picks up light from the areas where it sinks, creating a rhythm of shadow within the solid black.

Furthermore, the body of the garment is not simply brushed, but rather has a grid-like texture with a combination of unevenness and differences in the flow of the hair, and the closer you get, the more layers of texture there are, which is reminiscent of the ``patchwork editing of materials'' that Fendi was known for in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Another aspect that shows the characteristics of this era is that the luxury is achieved through texture and structure, rather than flaunting a logo. The design combines fur and ribbons, which are elements with different characteristics, into a single tone of black, while creating a sense of elegance through the difference in gloss, giving a sense of the experimental nature and high level of perfection of Fendi at the time.

Capes are typically items that are valued more for their appearance than for their practicality, but this one has a wealth of material processing that makes it suitable for both still and moving wear, and it has added value that will ensure it remains a staple in any modern wardrobe.

To style it, we recommend layering it over a neat shirt and slacks to highlight the cape aspect, or wearing it over a minimalist dress to create a look that is glamorous just by using layers of shadow.Alternatively, layering it over a simple jacket to emphasize the neckline and drape will make the Fendi's sculptural qualities stand out even more.

Please take this opportunity.
