Fendi Spring 2013

The theme for the Fendi show in Milan this season was set by the backdrop: large gray spheres hanging from the ceiling, contrasting a stark white runway. Even after one of the spheres dropped to create an explosive start to the show, the innovation ball kept rolling.

 The futuristic idea continued throughout the show with geometric color-blocking. Fendi expanded on their classic usage of leather and fur with updated ideas, which were seen in the use of colored fur and patterned leather towards the end of the show. For every strong leather piece there was a more feminine compliment, my favorite being the shirtdresses, which were a major trend on the Spring 2013 runway.

 An interesting aspect of the show that might have gone unnoticed was the make-up; models wore color-blocked strips of neoprene under their eyes to create a very unique effect.

With so many to choose from, what was your favorite Fendi innovation?
