Fendi Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:07:29 PST

Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Fendi joined forces to create an apocalyptic-chic collection for Fall 2012 - the wintery, forest-inspired vibe was evident, as models walked the runway in luxe layers of patent PVC and colored fur, looking gorgeously aggressive and ready for battle. Most of the pieces looked as if they had been literally cut from different cloths - oversize fur coats with contrasting sleeves, leather dresses with pleated bustles and wide corset belts, and tailored coats with cowhide bibs - all fashioned in a woodsy color palette of greens, navies, and neutrals. Models' makeup was left mostly natural, save for white wings painted on their eyelids to mimic Lagerfeld's "snow on branches" aesthetic, and hairstylist Sam McKnight created strong, severe coifs to further lend to the collection's Victorian warrior princess vibe. Get the full breakdown below.

Trends: Colored fur, leather and PVC inserts, exaggerated, armor-inspired shoulders.
Colors: Black, navy, maroon, forest green, slate gray.
Key Piece: The multicolored fur coat with bold, bright yellow sleeves.
Accessories: Wide leather corset belts; colorblock lace-up ankle boots; colored, crocodile-print tights; fur-covered handbags.
Who Would Wear It: Only the sartorially daring, like Kate Moss, Daphne Guinness, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Fendi Spring 2012

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:29:11 PDT

For Spring 2012, Fendi embraces sexiness, humor, and ladylike dressing all at once. It's what might happen if more buttoned-up types let their hair down without really surrendering their aesthetic. Essentially, structures and silhouettes remain intact with shift dresses, suiting, coats, and evening dresses - but each gets an edgy update with cutouts or rich fabrics like suede and leather with perforated, dot detailing carried throughout. Exceptions, like furry textural vests and long, sheer black gowns make their appearance, but overall the work speaks mainly to modern, pulled-together types who favor modern-cut classics like stripes on their blouses and a great skirt suit.

Trends: Ladylike, cutouts, sheer, stripes, fur, suede, texture.
Colors: Gray, black, white, blue, red.
Key Look: The adorable white apron-front dress.
Accessories: Oversize, see-through sunglasses, perforated leather ankle-strap heels with multicolored straps, some with fur adornments, perforated leather totes and clutches.
Who Would Wear It: Ladylike types with a little humor and quirk; Michelle Williams, Carey Mulligan, Mia Wasikowska, and Alexa Chung.
