Fendi pays tribute to Princess Anne with themed Milan show

This was the designer’s witty love letter from one strong, forthright woman within a powerful dynasty to another

Stephen Doig for the Daily Telegraph

Just this week, a colleague was extolling the wardrobe virtues of the “accidentally stylish” Princess Anne. And it seems that Silvia Venturini Fendi, the formidable matriarch of the Roman fashion house, is in agreement.

“I fell in love with the style of Princess Anne who, to my mind, is the most elegant woman in the world,” said Fendi, backstage in Milan. “When I saw the Coronation last year with Princess Anne in her uniform, I thought she looked beautiful. So I said ‘let’s be inspired for a men’s collection’.” The collection took the codes of the Princess Royal’s singular approach to dressing and applied them to men’s clothing, with a dusting of Fendi luxury in the mix.

“It’s a little bit Town and Country,” Fendi said of the distinctly British homage. “The Princess Royal is very rigorous in how she dresses, with this kind of military minded attitude, but feminine at the same time. She has a life outside the spotlight. She’s kind of an anti-fashion person, and to me that’s something that’s actually very fashionable and chic.”

Princess Anne’s status as a style icon over the years certainly hasn’t been by design on her part – leave the Princess of Wales to the Burberry while she dons House of Bruar – and was never the intention of the no-nonsense and hardworking royal, who favours practical country attire and Oakley shades over couture and experimental shapes, horse trials over the Gucci horsebit loafer. But that same sense of self-assuredness, stoicism and very British approach to dressing is just what appealed to Fendi in theming her show around the royal.

In actual terms, that translated into twinsets and chunky tweed skirts, heritage fabric coats – plaids spliced on plaids for a layered effect – waxed jackets and Wellington boots. The kind of attire built for yomps at Balmoral and Gloucestershire horse trials rather than the bars of Milan’s Brera district. The colours were those of the British countryside; olive, moss, oak and stone hues that evoked Gatcombe’s Green & Pleasant Land. The skirts, coincidentally, were in fact big, blousy Bermuda shorts designed to ape the appearance of Princess Anne’s solid kilts, although the royal herself has always mixed up the gender codes with her upright military uniform, so perhaps she’d approve of a bit of fluidity in that respect.

This being Fendi, a bit of experimentation with fabrication also weaved its way into the collection, with a tufted coat actually made from slivers of denim and some plush shearling on cropped jackets.

What Princess Anne would make of the sparkly suits on the willowy young men on the catwalk – perhaps a nod to her 1970s glamour – as well as the screaming furor from fans outside due to the presence of K-Pop stars and actors James Franco and Kit Harrington is anyone’s guess. But Silvia Venturini Fendi is no stranger to the singular position of being a strong, forthright woman within a powerful dynasty. It was a witty stylistic love letter from one woman of substance to another.

Brunello Cucinelli 'Linen and Silk Tweed Miniskirt' - $1,595.00

I love this very cozy combination of oversized sweater and check skirt - but it strikes an interesting juxtaposition for the interview given Martin McDonagh's sharper suit. It's a very Taylor outfit (check the burgundy loafers in the full body shot) that plays with layering, interesting colour combinations, and schoolgirl accents (which checks the boxes for a lot of her street style moments) - but a chic trouser set would not have been unwelcomed by me for this particular occasion.

As an aside, whether intentional or not, the smart navy colour story between the two of them interplays nicely on screen as they go back and forth talking about their craft (Aside on the aside: I could listen to Taylor talk about her creative passions for hours!).

Worn with: The Row sweater, Jennifer Zeuner earrings, and Prada loafers

Get the look: Max Studio, $29.99

something i've noticed about willas costuming this season is that shes stepped a lot into chanel esque tweed sets, trying to signal higher class/wealth but doing it in a kind of blair gossip girl way & they're all very "uniform" and kind of cutesy/chic in a way sort of reminiscent of well. an actual school uniform

you're so right she looks very succession gossip girl this season lol. like it's certainly a very wealthy look but also comes across as a bit juvenile when compared to the way the roys typically lean more toward stuff that's clearly expensive but not very sartorially bold (kendall's plain baseball caps and suits, roman's plain tom fords, etc). like it reads as her taking a step up status-wise but a corresponding one down in terms of sophistication and individuality. the schoolgirl element is so interesting bc it does imply a certain level of conformity, unlike a character like naomi who has a distinct look that actually does suggest some interest in fashion and familiarity with how to find and style pieces beyond just putting on one uniform-looking set.

Well, well, well...

It's been approximately two months since the pr narrative about The Waleses being all about "the work" started.

And just think of all the pictures we now have of them working! The Waleses, they're just like us!

In fact, so dedicated is Kate to "her work" that she didn't even wear any dresses, except for that one time when she wore a dress to a memorial service for QEII in Wales.

Otherwise, Kate is all about business work! That's why she wore suits!

Just count em'!

Wow.

THIRTEEN ensembles before Kate wore a skirt again.

She wore so many pantsuit ensembles that The Telegraph posted an article about it.

For eight out of the ten new appearances she’s undertaken in the past three weeks, the Princess has worn either a full trouser suit or a blazer with coordinating trousers. She’s mostly chosen muted colours and she’s largely been recycling previously seen pieces.  [...] If three’s a trend, then these many tailored looks point to a very deliberate change in style direction from Catherine, who has always used her fashion choices to send messages. So what is she trying to tell us here? “It’s a look of the moment, which works well on the Princess with her long legs, and those boxy jackets suit her,” said Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine and author of numerous royal biographies. “She wore those ‘little girl’ dresses for so long, but now she wants to look more sophisticated. It’s more of a work-day look; she doesn’t need to be in dresses anymore. A suit is snappier and smarter.” A year after assuming their Wales titles, Catherine and William are shaping their new roles for a modern era. “Catherine’s suits come at a time when the Waleses are making the way they work much more businesslike,” Seward said, adding that their increased workload and fresh approach to running their office, with the imminent appointment of a CEO, points to a polished and professional attitude from the future king and queen.  If Catherine has spent the past decade being viewed as a mother and young duchess, with a wardrobe of ladylike looks to reflect that perception, then now that she is in her 40s it may feel like the right time to swing the narrative. 

Wow. Ten plus years as a royal and only now does she want to be taken seriously! So much for wearing bright colors like Queen Elizabeth II so that people can see you. It's "muted colors" time now!

And it’s understandable that she might use what Seward called “the look of the moment” to craft a serious yet chic uniform that reflects her current priorities. But there are other long-time admirers of Catherine’s style who miss her softer, more classically “princessy” outfits.  “I don’t mind the occasional trouser or suit, but she’s been wearing this style so much of late,” wrote Jane Barr, who comments on the Princess via her Instagram page, From Berkshire to Buckingham. “I really miss the beautiful dresses and coats. This is, very frankly, boring. She is the Princess of Wales. I’d like to see some more pizazz.” The time for pizazz may come later in the autumn, especially if Catherine attends a state banquet set to be held in honour of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol in November. For now, though, “blazers are more powerful than a dress, tougher and less feminine,” according to Berkeley. “The armour plating one needs to get a job done, in my book.”

Oh, is it all about the work now? Blazers and business suits to "get a job done"? Just like Gordon Rayner wrote two months ago, "Kate is keen to do more." I see all members of the British press, who write about Kate and the royals, have received the message loud and clear that Kate is all about "the work."

Was there a risk that the press would assume Kate is not about "the work" these days? For what reason would anyone assume something like that? Is there something that the unspectacular Kensington Palace comms team hasn't told peeps about? Some "ongoing situation" that is going to become permanent?

I'm sure nothing significant will be happening regarding The Waleses in the next two weeks while their three school-age children are on half-term break. It's not as if we are currently in a period of time where shit just springs out of nowhere with no warning. Just ask Israel! They received multiple warnings that Hamas was planning shit and ignored it. See! They were warned about it. It didn't come out of nowhere even though everyone outside of the Israeli government didn't know about it.

You can't blame the messenger when people just don't want to listen.

Last call for TONIGHT’s Lobotomy Room club presentation of 1962 sexploitation masterpiece Satan in High Heels (Thursday 20 June at Fontaine’s in Dalston!). See Meg Myles (pictured wearing one of her signature fetish-y leather ensembles) as amoral bitch goddess extraordinaire Stacey Kane, a shady woman re-inventing herself as a nightclub chanteuse at the venue managed by fiercely chic and jaded lesbian proprietress Pepe (portrayed by intense, severely etched character actress Grayson Hall (seen here in profile), in a role anticipating Elaine Stritch in Who Killed Teddy Bear? (1965)). Satan is at its most campily enjoyable in the scenes of Stacey and stern task mistress Pepe sparring (the club’s handsome gay pianist Paul (Del Tenney) sometimes joins in. In a casual outburst of homophobia, Stacey calls him “Paulette”). “I’m not upset. I’m tired,” Stacey complains at one point. “T-I-R-E-D!” "You'll EAT and DRINK what I SAY until you lose five pounds IN THE PLACES WHERE!" Pepe fires back. “I don’t care if you can breathe or not – you’ll wear a girdle and smile!” With her butch tailored tweed suits, ascots and long cigarette holder, Grayson Hall is a consummate scene stealer and a great LGBTQ role model. Which makes Satan in High Heels ideal Pride Month 2024 viewing! (Inexplicably, Hall hated Satan and used to deny appearing in it!). Email bookings@fontaines.bar regarding availability. I’m sure we can squeeze you in! Full deets.

Crazy Rich Us [Part II]

“There’s rich, there’s filthy rich, and then there’s crazy rich”

Characters: Tara, Mark, Sungjae, M

Word count: 1,8k 

Genre: angst, fluff(?)

Crazy Rich Asians AU

(Part of the Gossip Witch Universe, but can be read on its own)

The Peninsula, Paris, 2032

Mark opened his eyes to a beam of sunlight shining upon his face. It took him a second or two to remember the reason why he was waking up in a suite at the Peninsula and not the shabby chic apartment he shared with Tara in London. Still slightly disoriented, the man reached out for the Tissot watch on the bedside table. It was ten past eight. Mark lay on the bed for a few seconds before recalling he had agreed to help Sungjae in some last-minute preparations for M’s bachelor party. Then he would meet his good friend Johnny for lunch. A smile crept onto his face at the thought of Johnny Suh.

Mark met Johnny during freshman orientation at Oxford and they instantly became inseparable. After one semester, Johnny would go around calling Mark his “best buddy” and even went as far as renting a flat they could share. Although the last thing Johnny was willing to do was to sacrifice his privacy, he still went through it because he knew Mark and his mother struggled to pay his rent every month and his best friend was just too prideful to accept any help. The thing was, paying rent was not even part of Johnny’s list of concerns. Johnny Suh was filthy rich and absolutely unapologetic about it. Coming from the merge of two old money families—a Korean father, heir of a tech conglomerate, and an American mother whose pedigree almost rivaled that of the Vanderbilts—the young man was the type of guy who had grown up knowing his Buccellati from his Boucheron. Johnny and his family would sweep through the world staying in luxurious properties, eating at restaurants with the most Michelin stars, and indulging in limitless shopping. That explained his penchant for showing up to class dressed as though he was attending a fashion show. It also explained his annoying tendency to be almost unbearably generous. Thanks to Johnny—and much to Mark’s dismay and initial refusal—the pair spent most of their college years enjoying glorious meals at culinary destinations like Old Parsonage and The Perch and going on weekend getaways to places like Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons and other manorial private properties in the English countryside. Mark also spent part of his college life driving—against his will—a Porsche Carrera Johnny even dubbed “Mark’s ride.”  

Mark was emerging from the nostalgic remembrance when his phone started buzzing under the pillow. He dismissed the alarm and scrolled through the schedule Tara had emailed him before their trip. Apparently, keeping up with the millions of fancy activities M and Jane had prepared for their wedding required, at the very least, an updated agenda. That morning the bride’s party was meeting for brunch at Apicius and later, at night, they were supposed to attend a soirée Jane’s maid of honor was throwing to officially kick off the wedding week. That explained why Tara was nowhere to be found. She was probably up and ready to fill her duties as a bridesmaid. After all, he had been told, M and Jane's wedding was supposed to be a big deal, with a considerable list of VIPs in attendance. Though he was yet to discover how his girlfriend had grown so close to Jane and her family in a few years, he supposed Tara’s help was surely needed.

“You’re up,” Tara’s voice remarked when she walked into the room, pushing Mark out of his thoughts. As predicted, she was all dressed up, clad in a beige tweed skirt and jacket ensemble, ankle boots, and her hair perfectly combed into a high ponytail. She wore minimal make-up, a golden watch, and several rings on her fingers. Watching her from distance, Mark realized he had rarely seen Tara so dolled up. Granted, his girlfriend was always beautiful, but he realized he had never seen her wearing anything more elaborated than what her students described as professor Lee’s light Academia aesthetics. That was a lot of cozy knit sweaters, cardigans, sweater vests, jeans, oversized blazers, and trench coats combined with loafers and Oxford shoes.

Dressed in that tweed set, Tara almost looked like a different woman.  Mark tried not to point it out, but eventually, he ended up asking,

“Is that a new outfit? I don’t remember seeing it before.”

Tara shrugged. “It’s a gift from my brother. Probably his way of saying I need to up my fashion game since we’re in Paris,” she joked, moving around the room and picking stuff from her vanity and her bag. “I know you said you’ll help Sungjae with some errands before we leave for Cannes, but any chance you guys can join the rest of us for brunch?” Tara asked casually as she stuffed a Chanel bag with her wallet, keys, and other objects.

“I don’t think so, I’ll have lunch with Johnny, remember? I am not sure where we’ll be going, but you know him, he always has these crazy plans.” Mark said with a shrug. “Sorry, but I’ll tell Sungjae, maybe he wants to drop by.”

Tara scoffed loudly, “without someone dragging him there? I doubt it,” she added skeptically.

“I know Sungjae is not a fan of socialization, but it’s his best friend’s wedding, give him some credit.” Mark rose to his feet and walked up to Tara.

“You think I’m talking about Sungjae’s aversion to social gatherings?” Tara looked at her boyfriend with a raised brow and then scoffed “You’re so cute.” Before Mark could complain and ask questions Tara pressed her lips against his cheek. “I’ll get going, you get ready and have fun with the guys, I’ll see you later.” Mark would’ve said something, but Tara’s camelia’s perfume invading his nostrils left him too stunned to speak. He only followed her with his eyes as she walked out of the room. What was his girlfriend talking about?

MIGNON, Paris, 2032

Mark met Sungjae outside MIGNON, in the 18th arrondissement. Located in an unassuming building in Caulaincourt, close to Montmartre, the café was the perfect spot to escape from tourist hordes and experience Paris as true locals. Unlike Guy Savoy, the coffee shop served a motley selection of French gourmandises and oddities such as bio, homemade strawberry tartines, and watermelon lemonade that M loved. Back when they were in high school, Sungjae and M would always enjoy French pastries and watermelon lemonade prepared by the chef running the kitchen at M’s home. Though the man had long passed to better life, whenever they visited France, they would visit his family’s small shops, scattered around Paris, Bretagne, and Provence.

“I thought we were meeting without M,” Mark whispered to Sungjae when he caught a glimpse of their friend sitting inside the shop.

“It’s a long story, but we’re providing an alibi. He’s not dealing well with the pressure,” Sungjae said, wrapping an arm around Mark and pulling him along as he walked into MIGNON.

M had already ordered brunch and was sipping from a glass of watermelon lemonade when his friends caught up with him.

“Sorry I am late, I kinda got lost. The metro station had all these stairs-“ Mark started, but since M did not look up from his plate, Sungjae chimed in.

“So what else do we have to do today? The tuxes are in from London,” He pulled a chair and sat in front of his best friend as Mark took the empty spot beside him. “I’m just waiting to hear back from some of the last-minute people about the rehearsal next week and we can-”

M clamped his eyes shut and massaged his temples “Can we please not talk about that goddamned wedding?”

Mark couldn’t school his expression to hide his surprise so Sungjae nudged him almost imperceptibly. After a decades-worth friendship, he had learned to recognize when M needed some space. It didn’t happen often, but on rare occasions, he hit one of his down days and the usually cheerful and understanding M vanished completely.

“Okay then. What do you want to talk about?” Sungjae asked calmly.

M didn’t respond, so Mark looked at Sungjae confused. Did something happen that he completely missed out on? Thankfully, before Mark had the bad sense of opening his mouth to ask questions, the waiter, a man who looked their age, but the three of them would’ve been surprised to find out was barely eighteen, approached the table to take Mark and Sungjae’s order.

“I’ll get an allongé, une tartine pesto, jambon de Parme et noisettes, and Mark will get the strawberry and watermelon lemonade with-“ Sungjae made a pause looking at Mark in the eye, “waffles and fruit of the season?”

Mark nodded, chuckling both at how predictable he was and at the way Sungjae proceeded to translate his order into French.

“I know I am so predictable, and we’ll get back to that in a sec, but when did you even learn French? The last thing I remember, you used to ask me to translate even the smallest French words when we were in college,” Mark joked, looking at Sungjae with his eyes wide open.

“That-“ Sungjae smacked himself mentally when he realized he babbled briefly before adding “My secretary is French.”

M looked up, paying attention to his friends for the first time since they got there. He looked at Sungjae for a second before finally breaking the silence. “You’re a terrible liar,” he told Sungjae and then turned to Mark. “And you, you never change, do you?”

Mark opened his mouth to protest, but M went on. “Have you ever changed your mind about anything?”

Mark floundered, lost for words for a brief moment. “I do, but I also know what I like, so-“ Mark shook his head. “Wait, have you? Is that why we’re here? Are having second thoughts about the wedding?”

“What? No!” M said almost automatically, then he corrected himself “I mean, yes, but not about marrying Jane-” M took a deep breath as Sungjae leaned back into his seat, patiently waiting for him to continue and Mark leaned forward looking at him attentively. “Of course, I want to marry Jane. I just- I just never seem to have a saying in anything regarding my own life” M finally said bitterly.

Mark looked at M profusely confused, but Sungjae remained silent. He couldn’t really say anything, but of course, he understood M’s concerns. On the pages of magazines, there was nothing people talked about other than M and Jane’s wedding. Everything about their union had turned into a staged family merger and not the marriage of two people in love.

“I haven’t been in the position to make a single choice since I was born,” M said matter-of-factly. “It’s a good thing I actually want to marry Jane. I just don’t know how I’ll make it through the Broadway production, that’s all. I have this perverse fantasy of kidnapping her, jumping on a plane, and marrying her in some sort of improvised ceremony in the Toscana”

It said a lot about his friends that they both replied “Then why not do it” almost in unison.

Chic in Chanel: A Northern Soul - Chanel’s Métiers d’Art Collection Shines in Manchester

On May 23, 2024, Chanel unveiled its latest Métiers d’Art collection amidst the vibrant backdrop of Manchester, a city renowned for its rich musical heritage and cultural tapestry. Inspired by iconic British and French style influences, the collection pays homage to Manchester’s legendary music scene, synonymous with bands like The Stone Roses, Oasis, and The Smiths. The runway, set on Thomas Street in North Manchester at dusk, showcased tweed coatdresses and suits adorned in hues of vibrant blue, lilac, apple green, and a unique brown inspired by the city’s brick architecture. This amalgamation of colors captured the dynamic energy of Manchester, while knitwear crafted from Shetland and cashmere embodied the effortless elegance of the English countryside. Each ensemble highlighted Chanel's exquisite craftsmanship from Le19M, featuring meticulously crafted buttons, hats, pleats, and footwear that epitomized the collection’s artisanal yet inherently cool character.

To complement the runway looks, Chanel’s beauty team prepared models with N°1 de Chanel and created a flawless makeup base using Le Blanc La Base Légère. The complexion was enhanced with Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint for a fresh and natural glow, while Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sun-Kissed Powder in Light Coral added a touch of color to the cheekbones. Eyes shimmered with Ombre Essentielle in 222 Jade Facetté, and lashes were accentuated in bright red using Noir Allure Mascara in 47 Rouge Intense. Lips were moisturized and subtly enhanced with Les Beiges Lip Balm, while nails were finished in a warm beige shade using Le Vernis in 105 Particulière.

Chanel’s Métiers d’Art collection not only celebrates the fusion of French and British style codes but also showcases the brand’s ongoing commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, creating a timeless narrative that resonates with fashion aficionados globally.
