>> Delfina Delettrez Fendi's Spring 2011 jewelry collection is "all about strong women, like Virginia Woolf or George Sand or Colette," she says. "They all used to wear masculine things." The offerings include hand rings, crocheted necklaces, shirt cuff silver bracelets, and Kama Sutra cufflinks. "I’ve always done the cufflinks," Delettrez Fendi says. "But they were more sweet — like with animals. This time [we did] eyes, Kama Sutra." What might we see from her next? "I have to fly back and think what am I going to do next season! I get inspired by traveling. This opens my mind. When I’m on holiday, I’m more relaxed and more open for things to come . . . I’m thinking of going to San Francisco. I’m sure I will get inspiration there." See more of her Spring 2011 collection at the link. [Opening Ceremony]

Who Wore It Better? Neon Yellow and Nude Valentino

Remember when Dree Hemingway attended amfAR's gala in Cannes in this neon yellow and nude Valentino confection?

Remember when Dree Hemingway attended amfAR's gala in Cannes in this neon yellow and nude Valentino confection? She nearly made us drool. Now inducing even more loving feelings is Fendi heiress and jewelry designer of the skeleton hand Delfina Delettrez Fendi, who wore the same frock at a fabulous fete in Italy. Delfina's version includes black ankle-strap pumps, while Dree's is a matching nude and black sandal. Both stunning, but whose version is a notch above?

Delfina Delettrez Fendi Presents Anatomik at Opening Ceremony

Jen Brill, Sally Singer, Bonnie Morrison, and Fe Fendi joined 22-year-old Fendi family heiress Delfina Delettrez Fendi for the first stateside presentation of her Anatomik jewelry collection at Opening Ceremony last Thursday.

Jen Brill, Sally Singer, Bonnie Morrison, and Fe Fendi joined 22-year-old Fendi family heiress Delfina Delettrez Fendi for the first stateside presentation of her Anatomik jewelry collection at Opening Ceremony last Thursday.

Greatly inspired by Delettrez Fendi's obsession with the anatomy of the human body, the jewelry collection features a cuff shaped like vampire teeth, skull cabochon rings, and diamond encrusted pinky fingers. “I have always been fascinated with the body; I don’t know why,” Delettrez Fendi said. “From the mouth to the feet, it’s very inspiring to me — especially the hands.”

Silver skeleton shaped slave bracelets that mimicked the bone structure of the hand were among the most interesting (and fun to try on) for party-goers. “You have to play with the jewels, Fendi explained. "Now people don’t want to have jewels that are shiny and don’t want to have the big diamonds. They want to have the jewels that seem fake! But you just know it’s real. It seems like a toy.”

The collection, which retails from $450 to $65,000, is available at Opening Ceremony boutiques in New York and Los Angeles.

On Our Radar: Delfina Delettrez Fendi Jewelry

She may be 19, but she has a date with destiny, there's no doubt about it.

She may be 19, but she has a date with destiny, there's no doubt about it. Her last name isn't Fendi for nothing, after all...Delfina Delettrez Fendi debuts her first jewelry collection this week during Paris Fashion Week, with a two-fold focus: animals and skulls. She drew inspiration from her grandmother's spooky wartime stories and antique crucifixes. The jewelry combines super luxe with nature elements — so think gold, silver and diamonds paired with leather, bone, and wood.


The 200-piece line runs $400-$3,000 and will be available at Colette.
