Fendi Spring 2011 goes from runway to real world

It’s always interesting to see what, if anything, a brand’s runway collection has to do with the rest of the line that it releases in stores. In the case of Fendi Spring 2011 shoes, the answer is: not a lot!

The collection includes many iterations of the colorblocked sandals and platforms that we saw on the brand’s Milan runway, but the rest of the line is largely comprised of shapes and ideas that we’ve seen Fendi do successfully in recent seasons. Large platforms and high heels reign, and the cutout sandals and pumps with changeable bows are among the best of the line’s non-runway offerings. Pictures, of course, are after the jump.

Love the idea (and execution) of the changeable bows. I actually like a lot of these!

  I love it too, since I have a hangup about mixing hardwares between shoes and bags that I just can’t shake. And I also like the metals I’m wearing to coordinate with the undertones in my clothing. I’m not a matchy-matchy person by any stretch, but that’s just a pet peeve of mine.

Ok, I’ll take a pair of colorblock sandals when they hit the sales. But I have seen better from Fendi, the platforms look appaling in the pics, hope they fair better “live”.

Honestly, the only ones I really like are 4, 8, 10, and 15. The rest seemed overworked with bad mash-ups of silhouettes and colors.

The simplicity and geometric aspects are nice, but some of them are not nice at all.

#3,7,9 are quite sweet.. but my heart belongs to the colour blocked sandals. I’d buy #18 & 19 in a heartbeat.
