Fendi Karl Lagerfeld Beaded Crystal Harness Belt Vest

Fendi is no stranger to eclectic styles. From risqué to romantic, Fendi has a bold history of creating a variety of expressive and experimental looks, using everything from tulle to sequins to add an aura of luxury and lavishness to even the most basic of designs.

The harness is a tried-and-true fashion staple that has been styled with everything from evening gowns to suits on runways and red carpets alike. Actor Timotheé Chalamet brought the harness back into the spotlight with his glittering Louis Vuitton number at the 2019 Golden Globes, which continues to be one the most influential celebrity looks in recent years.

This spectacular Fendi harness vest is alluring and enchanting at once. The fully beaded vest features circles of iridescent blue beads set against a ground of shiny black beads, creating a beautiful contrast of color. The center of each blue circle is embellished with a glinting prong-set crystal, evoking the majesty of a starry night sky while giving the eye something new to appreciate from each angle.

The harness begins with a simple jewel neckline and a wide, angular collar that grazes the shoulders. A keyhole cut out at the front of the bodice adds a nice layer of complexity and ingenuity to the risqué design, which curves into two tapered straps that extend from the opening above the bust to the bottom of the ribs.

Two slender straps at the back of the collar extend to the waist, mirroring the front of the harness to create a youthful, crisp silhouette. A fully beaded black belt is threaded through the loops at the bottom of each strap, accentuating the waist.

A special addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this harness vest can easily be styled with a chiffon dress or silk pantsuit and is an easy way to add chic, head-turning sparkle to your favorite evening ensemble.

In excellent condition, this Fendi vest is lined in black cotton and has snap closures on the adjustable belt. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year.
