How does the runway compare to old money? How do you like Princess Anne’s style?
I much prefer her utilitarian clothes over the typical princess looks, and Silvia Venturini Fendi was inspired by that aspect of Anne’s wardrobe.
The Fendi collection drew from Princes Anne’s looks and also from the Balmoral moorlands in Scotland – hence the gorgeous plaid coat. For now, the LL Bean coat does justice to old money plaid outerwear.
Fashion loves to draw from non-fashion people, from hippies to old money. It aims to deliver cultural richness without the time it takes to develop patina on that Barbour jacket. Fashion gives you the look of tending to a family estate without going through the experiments that led to a particular layering scheme of various rain coats for that specific task out in the estate.
But it’s not all superficial; at its best, fashion takes those ideas and makes them relevant to a more ordinary life. It honors the source and encourages its appreciation.
