Fendi, the Italian fashion icon beloved for its shoes and handbags, is hosting its next fashion show on the Great Wall of China. The show will take place in October.
The video shown here is from Fendi's 2007/08 Fall/Winter collection in Milan. The show, which was 3 months ago, shows the most recent Fendi designs. While this could be similar to what we'll see from Fendi in China, I think the blockbuster location sets Fendi up to reveal a dramatically new collection.
