My client bought this around 10-15 years ago. It is not a runway piece but I think it should have been. This is Fendi from the Karl Lagerfeld era and it is phenomenal. I think this might be one of the best Fendi dresses I've ever seen actually. Adele and Edoardo Fendi opened the first shop in Rome in 1925. They originally made leather goods and were very succesfull. Edoardo passed away in 1946 and Adele and their four daughters took over the company. In 1965 Karl Lagerfeld became the creative director. He was the one that introduced the famous Double F logo and pushed the brand to world wide recognition. Fur was a focis for many years but he also oversaw the roll out of ready-to-wear in 1977 and a shoe division in 1978. In the 1980s they expanded with boutiques world wide and in 1999 LVMH Moet-Hennesy and Prada giving it even more exposure on a global scale
