Fendi Women’s Fall Winter 2011 - Cubist Art School Teacher Chic with A Touch of Governess Charm

I have to say this is my favorite collection so far from Fendi’s collection! From the inspirations to the styling of each garments, full of the “Cubism” artistic feels to it that makes Fendi’s fall winter 2011 collection totally different than the usual Fendi looks. Starting from the runway backdrop, a Cubist collage made from scraps of corrugated cardboards & almost street poster-ish Fendi logos randomly plastered on to the wall, it sets the mood for this beautiful artistic “Cubist” inspired collection.

“The Aficionado” by Pablo Picasso in 1912

The show was full of beautiful & interestingly constructed coats & dresses done in almost a boho chic style but a more “Controled” kinda way, feels like a super chic cubist art school teacher / governess that that just finished the painting class and had some left over paint on her hair ( just like those bright blue, red, green & purple hair extensions they loosely mixed into each model’s hair), finished off the look with bright color knit stocking & mary jane shoes.

Of course there are a lot of furs! It’s the house of Fendi after all; from sable, chinchilla, and fox to Mongolian lamb. But what made this year’s fur coats different is “This season we’re trying to invent the type of fur that doesn’t exist” said by Silvia Venturini Fendi. So there are strips of fur that’s woven into looking like a camouflage pattern…. But the most magical effect was done by cutting fox fur into strips & form an herringbone pattern & each seam with an insertion of fluttering tulle that’s embellished with gold color dots/beads, so they sparkled when the models walks down the runway.
