‘Frugal’ Princess Anne inspires latest Fendi menswear collection


Princess royal inspires militaristic flourishes in autumn/winter 2024-25 showcase

The designer Silvia Venturini Fendi said it was the sight of the 73-year-old princess at the coronation, wearing her Blues and Royalsgreen velvet cloak, towering feathered hat and an array of military sashes, badges and stars, that prompted the choice. It includes oversized Barbour-style parkas, leather wellies, sou’wester rain hats, generously sized dark green sweaters and a variety of tartan skirts, skorts and kilts. This week, on a trip to Sri Lanka, she was seen with her trademark Adidas sunglasses, given to her by the British cycling team during the 2012 London Olympics, which she has been wearing for the last 12 years and which it has been previously speculated served as inspiration for Stella McCartney designs.
