It takes some talent to make khaki cotton overalls, fisherman style vests and cargo pants appeal. The same goes for sun hats with back flaps and rubber webbed garden shoes. But they managed to do so with a collection filled with sheer fabrics, knits woven into trellis patterns and a light touch on everything from bags to coats to fur, in a gardener’s palette of olive, pea, corn, and dusty rose.

carrying Fendi bags shaped like watering cans, others made from trellis-like nets and handmade straw totes, while little gardening tool keychains dangled from buckles and straps.

Guadagnino’s botanical prints – hand drew on an iPad while the director was making his latest film, the scary, gory “Suspiria” – added even more whimsy, as a barely-there print on sheer trousers or flap-pocket jackets, a camo pattern on fishing vests or a lush wash of green leaves over a raincoat.

Some of his botanicals came fused with checks, as in a tailored shorts suit or as a digital print over a breezy, elongated shirt. Guadagnino said even before the Fendi collaboration kicked off he drew them as an escape from the darkness of “Suspiria.”

With the fantasy botanicals, romantic spin on workwear, and handbag charms, this collection didn’t really belong to the real world, and that was the beauty of it. Who doesn’t dream of a garden paradise?
