The Bird of paradise is the key motif of this mid-seasonal collection by the Italian fashion house and designer Karl Lagerfeld, who has been at Fendi for 50! years.

He describes the pieces as 'pleasant aggressively' - soft but graphical. We would say that they are both sophisticated and comfortable - relaxed luxury.

Fendi Resort 2016 collection offers: beautiful print on a silk sundress, full-skirted smocks, white-collared schoolgirl dresses, cotton and fur coats and jackets, practical blazers, lambskin vests, mink appliqués on a cashmere tops, denim reinterpretations, technical fabrics (silk looking like denim, leather looking like tweed, lasercut pony hair looking like lace, etc), a variety of handbags and high heel sandals, micro beads embroideries.

The color palette includes highlighted ochre, saffron, army green, white, blue, black, yellow and orange.
