“It was as if someone had dropped an old pair of pantyhose over Milan,” scoffs Cathy Horyn. “If you told me that Karl Lagerfeld had anything to do with the boudoir show at Fendi, I would have denied it to your face.”
I know everyone (by “everyone” I mean “fashion blogs”) has been obsessing over this line for a few days now, but deservedly so. It’s magnificent.
While we’re on the subject of the boudoir and pantyhose, can someone please put the kabosh on marveling/reporting/commenting on the dearth of pants on the runways, as if the runway were somehow a literal representation of what designers suggest you actually wear. This is Fashion Show 101! No one expects people to run around in their underwear, like it’s some kind of Brave New Look. Foundation garments are just a cash cow. Lingerie is the New Perfume. And the photos are a sexy news sell. That’s all. The end.
