Fendi food
There’s been a lot of buzz in the industry (as per usual) about eating disorders, what will all those intense Nolita jeans ads plastered here, there, and everywhere. But I’ll have you know, that true to stereotypical Italian form, the fashion folks here in Milan encourage eating. In addition to Armani, many houses have offered sustenance in the form of espresso and sandwiches to their runway show guests. The spread (above) was set out before the Fendi show yesterday. (Love the little tooth-pick flags, though I’m not sure if the festive markers were used as decoration or as a color-coded guide to direct Fendi’s many international patrons to a delicacy that might suit their palate.)
Fendi, Spring 2008
After indulging in pre-show nibbles, the crowd had bigger things to digest such as Karl Lagerfeld’s use (remember the multi-talented maestro designs for Fendi too) of sweeping ¾-length silhouettes, circular shapes, and snappy geo-accents. The show also marked the 10th anniversary of the house’s original It-Bag, the Baguette. It’s a pity that birthday cake wasn’t served as well, as that’s a fashion milestone well worth celebrating.
