Fendi Fall 2011

Classical silhouettes resigned supreme in the bags at Fendi’s fall show. Overscaled in size and popping in bright colors, the handhelds featured nifty longer straps that made them instant cross-bodies. I love the roomy shape of the Fendi day bag for fall; it harks back to an iconic shape Fendi has shown since the days of the momma baguette. Also note the subtle scripted floral detail directly above the FF logo buckle; it adds an air of old world nostalgia to the bag. Offsetting this shape was a felt tote that, while certainly pretty, remains to be seen if will hold its shape due to the soft fabrication.
