Karl Lagerfeld produced a very fluid, wavy collection for Fendi with star American model and TV star Kendall Jenner providing a touch of celebrity glamour.

Thigh-high boots in an array of colours provided the eye-catching highlight and even they had a ruffled look about them.

Furs abounded, as so often with Fendi. But here they were jazzed up with vibrant dashes of colour. The collection also drew inspiration from Japan, generally in its fluidity and particularly in the form of the flowers on a baby doll dress that were modelled on an 18th-century Japanese wallpaper print.

But the nod to Japan which delighted Fendi fans the most was the presence of Piro-chan and her male counterpart Bug-kun -- mascots modelled on the furry handbag charms which have become cult items in Japan, a key market for the Rome-based house.
