Fendi's sumptuous Milan autumn-winter show has fans drooling
Suede and leather creations and bird of paradise bags, presented by models including Doutzen Kroes and Kendall Jenner, wow fashionistas

Like a luxurious chocolate pudding, the Fendi autumn/winter 2015 show left Italy’s fashion world drooling with its sumptuous suede and leather creations and bird of paradise bags.

The Roman fashion house under creative director Karl Lagerfeld - present in his trademark dark glasses - upheld its reputation for multi-fabric outfits, with patchwork and leather panels stitched loosely onto tunics and dresses.

First up was a selection of white and cream ensembles, led by Victoria’s Secret beauty Doutzen Kroes in a beautifully tailored high-waisted loose coat, after which the catwalk gave way to earthy tones dominated by browns, reds, camel and brick.

Sleeveless tunics in suede were paired with velvet elbow-length gloves trimmed with fur - a Fendi staple - while simple, high-necked dresses with a masculine cut were softened by box handbags sporting feather-like adornments.
