FAVA AND FASHION...FENDI

In collaboration with theDe La  Cruz Collection, on Tuesday, March 13, Fendi hosted an exclusive, private showing of the Spring/Summer 2012 collection, in the Miami Design District. With the sleek, white walls of the De La Cruz space as its back drop, Fendi’s hottest looks for the upcoming season made their way down the Catwalk to the delight of this eclectic crowd.  VIP’s, Fashionistas and a Who’s Who from the Design world including friends Sam Robin, Claudio Faria and Matt Mac Donald, had the opportunity to see first hand what this esteemed Fashion House is bringing to the runway this season. With a nod to the 50’s, the collection was architectural and crisp, yet simultaneously casual and chic- much like today’s Interior Design aesthetic. While the palette remained neutral for the most part, with much of the collection in white, ivory, tan, and black,  silver and blue,  the hot colors  in Interior Design ( see our Master Suite in the 2012 Red Cross Showhouse as an example) , appear in this collection as well.  Some highlights were an apple-green dress paired with a coat created with navy, black and royal blue feathers, an amazing red, multi-striped dress and my personal favorite-  a spectacular black cocktail dress  which looked fabulous on the runway, but was  truly stunning on my friend and date for the evening Brandy, who wore it in  support of Fendi.
