Fendi Pre-Fall 2012
Oh, to be a Fendi girl. If I were, I’d no doubt be falling all over myself in a mad rush to snag the iconic label’s fall 2012 collection. While Fendi has never done much for me, I can’t deny that this collection is surprisingly timeless – something that can’t always be said of the fashion house’s offerings. Fall 2012 brings the drama in a big way, and comes complete with the expected dark hues and vivid prints.
The Backgammon Baguette is a distinctive interpretation of the classic Fendi bag that makes a name for itself with competing materials and striking pops of red. Though it’s not easy to tell that the strap is made of python skin, the flap is very clearly of the snake persuasion. Coupled with a plush suede body that portrays a geometric backgammon pattern in surprisingly stylish fashion, the python manages to stand out only subtly. Still, the overall design is right in line with what I tend to expect from Fendi: slightly nonsensical, absurd designs with a twist of sophistication.
Those of you who truly can’t get enough of the backgammon theme need to meet the Daisy Clutch. She’s all dressed up in a coat of calf hair that’s been treated to the backgammon print. A few bugle beads stud the trim to complement the overall earthy spirit of the design. For convenience, convert it into a crossbody bag with the included, detachable patent strap.
I saved my personal best for last. The Patchwork Crocodile Pequin Baguette is a crisp, lean design that looks elegant without being too severe or mature, which it would have been if not for the multicolored flap. The low-key hues allow the exotic skin’s beautiful texture to really shine, and the added addition of a tiger-stripe plaque is the perfect finishing “stamp” of luxury.
