Silvia Venturini Fendi is one of the few female creative directors working in Milan right now and that fact could perhaps explain why her Fall/Winter 2020 collection was so attuned to the female psyche – well at least the way women want to dress up and shop.

After all, in these discretionary times, the power and appeal of a good accessory is even more pertinent for the sales floor.
