High Life Issue #4

HIGH LIFE #4 January 2017 123 F endi Faces is Fendi's newest playful design, following the success of its Fendi Bag Bugs. Fendi Faces are featured in jackets, shirts and handbags. Shearling backpacks and tote bags for men have been given a fun update with Fendi Faces prints. Even the iconic Peekaboo in leather, as well as patches, can be seen in this design. Be it for men or women, fashion or accessories, all items of the brand now have a cute, daring element which resembles a face. More than anything this is a reinterpretation of luxury. With the market getting ever younger, these products are losing their once “serious” characteristics. As markets around the globe embrace the concept of buying seasonally– be it for aUS$30 piece or one that retails for US$3,000 – designers are now being given license to be bold. Fendi Faces is above all a daring collection in striking colors and with elements that surprise – be it glittering eyes or zips working as lips. All hues of blue, bright red, yellow, silver and even black make an appearance. It is hard to play favorites, but we would say that the Fendi Faces backpack is a worthy addition to any wardrobe, immediately updating an outfit. For gentlemen, we suggest the biker jacket in black leather with Karlito – to be worn by the confident man. Whichever you choose, there is one thing you can be sure about Fendi Faces – not only will it surprise, it will bring you closer to your childhood. And who can put a price tag on that?
