Bet you never thought that watering cans and straw hats could be this chic.

The great outdoors has&nbsp;never been this charming. For Fendi Men&#39;s Spring/Summer 2020 collection, Silvia Venturini Fendi took her inspiration &mdash; gardening, her favourite pastime &mdash; quite literally. Boasting no fewer than 60 looks, the show was a breath of fresh air that featured an even more inspiring collaboration.

Here&#39;s what you need to know about Fendi&#39;s latest show at Milan Fashion Week:&nbsp;

Collaboration

A friendship can blossom into an fruitful collaboration; Call Me By Your Name director, Luca Guadagnino, and Fendi&nbsp;are here to prove it. Guadagnino is a no stranger to the designer, having forged a connection with her 15 years ago.&nbsp;In 2007, the duo founded the production company First Sun&nbsp;together, which produced Guadagnino&rsquo;s 2009 drama,&nbsp;I Am Love; Guadagnino has had several stints directing&nbsp;videos for Fendi.

Fast forward to today, the Italian filmmaker has come a long way. From graphic prints and whimsical accessories to the art direction of the show location, casting, and show soundtrack, Guadagnino&#39;s creative influence&nbsp;was&nbsp;felt all throughout&nbsp;Fendi&#39;s latest collection, for which he was a guest artist. He also designed a special &quot;Botanics for FENDI&quot; print, which was seen across a series of shirts, tunics&nbsp;and accessories.

Reflecting the direction of the collection, the runway was turned into a stroll in a garden for the models. The set, located at the&nbsp;gardens of Villa Reale, specially chosen by Guadagnino.&nbsp;&ldquo;It was Luca who discovered this perfect place, a different set seen from the eyes of a cinematographer, to present a collection inspired by the botanical world, by gardening and by travellers,&rdquo; revealed Silvia&nbsp;in an interview. Fendi set the scene for its guests with welcome gifts -&nbsp;each filled with fresh pastries, fruits and a porcelain Fendi tumbler for servers to pour hot coffee in.&nbsp;

Bringing the theme of gardening forward, the SS20 collection also took on a variety of earthy&nbsp;colours:&nbsp;olive, khaki, beige, creme, and black. This was especially prominent&nbsp;on tailoring, overalls, vests, flared trench coats and more. The collection certainly didn&#39;t shy away from nature.
