In a further testament of his talent for film-making, Karl Lagerfeld created “Peplum People,” his exclusive new video for Fendi, filmed during the shooting of the SS 2013 ad campaign.

A cool attitude, a tribal soundtrack, the summer breeze stirring the Mediterranean fronds and playful poolside activity channel a holiday joie de vivre and Fendi’s Roman heritage, interpreted by models Kati Nescher, Saskia De Braw, Joseph Dolce and Willy Cartier.

The inspiration behind the reel is the lighthearted spirit of two polished young ladies on vacation and dressed in Fendi SS 2013 highlights - flowy shirtdresses featuring hints of Cubism and Bauhaus, softly-tinted overcoats with shaved fur details and flashed of gold – who are looking to have fun. Intrigued by a pair of handsome and irreverent young men they meet on the streets, they follow them around, ultimately receiving an invitation to dinner.
