This YELL that I let out last night around 10:30pm while watching the second episode of season three for HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER I'm sure woke my neighbors up! It wasn't because of a shocking murder scene or a hot passionate love making scene, or even one of the characters getting another together with sharp cutting words but it was all because of this amazing Brown and Purple amazing chic coat Viola Davis who plays Annalise Keating!
I know I am not the only one who absolutely went crazy over this incredibly crafted piece of luxury. I automatically went to social media and goggle doing research on this coat. I went to Viola Davis Instagram, them went to HTGAWM IG, went to their costume designers social media page, checked other Designers such as Prada, Oscar De La Renta, and Chanel social media pages and website. I finally found one that is very promising after sending emails and direct messages to the costume desiger for the show. Who do I believe is the designer of this incredible coat? DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!! FENDI!!!!!!!!!!
Fendi is an Italian luxury fashion house who specialize in fur, ready to wear, leather goods (especially handbags), shoes, and in this case, COATS. It was founded in 1925 by Adele Casagrande and Edoardo Fendi in Rome,Italy. This husband and wife team started out in a small store in Rome with their special leather goods and furs. What helped them to be noticed was their attention to detail. They were known for their yellow tinted, parchment leather bags. In 1965 legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld became a part of the Fendi family along with their daughter who helped reinvent the brand. If you notice many of their handbags and clothing can be a solid color and when you look on the inside or in the back there is an array of bright bold colors taking your breath away!

When this amazing coat hit my television screen so many things ran through my head. The biggest idea was, where can I get this made at? I can just imagine my Pastor walking in during our Holy Convocation with elbow length leather gloves and amazing sheath dress underneath and a chic Michelle Obama shoe! (I'm speaking into existence for Michelle Obama to do a Shoe Line exclusive at Nordstrom). OH and a oversized clutch, giving it a 1960s Vintage flare.

I do believe that this FENDI coat was custom made in this color for the show because I couldn't not find this particular coat anywhere in these two colors. I did find one which is in two other vibrant colors that speaks volumes all by itself. I have posted a few other FENDI pieces that spoke to me. Just from browsing their Fall/Winter 2016 collection I put an entire wardrobe together for some of the special women in my life. I even found an amazing Vintage piece that gives a Fendi feel and look.
So you don't have to search any further, THEE VINTAGE GUY has done his research and found what everyone has been searching for. It is a FENDI Color Block Coat that ranges in the price of $3,000 and $3,850.

Editors Notes:
This amazing piece also could have been created but the luxury brand Akris. Most roads have led me to Fendi which is why I spoke highly and more of that fashion house.
