I know this has nothing to do with Paris but I how could I resist when nude mesh and tons of square flattened folded rosettes that from a distance almost look like hexagons are involved. Especially when it's Fendi that is in question. It's quite a surprising turn but then again Fendi is one of those labels where people hold poor connontations in their head (double F logomainia etc...) when in reality, there's always been something a little interesting/bizarre/odd in their collections that goes against their bread and butter line of logoed goods...
I just wish I could dampen the pretty-prettiness of it all with a backcombed messy quiff because I'm pretty sure last time I attempted a quiff, there was a brush stuck in my hair and copious amounts of wasted hairspray to further damage this planet.

that's just amazing

You know, Fendi is one of those labels that, despite being super expensive, has cheapened itself, but still brings some fantastic things to the table every once in a while. This post = case in point. These dress are awesome!!! I love love love love 3-d florals.
Posted by: KD | 29 September 2008 at 22:49
I love a good rosette, and that dress and clutch by fendi are gorgeous! Also love that 'doily' white dress!
Posted by: Brigadeiro | 29 September 2008 at 22:57
Well, that does it, now I like Fendi.
Posted by: enc | 29 September 2008 at 23:03
I love thoe rosettes! The great thing about those are they're easy to d.i.y.! =)
Posted by: Farren | 29 September 2008 at 23:23
aah yes, i'm not really a flowry kind of girl, but i still thought these were scrumptious. wish i could do that hair as well, the perfect antidote to all that sweetness!
Posted by: MHBass | 29 September 2008 at 23:59
Fendi has always been one of those labels I never paid much attention to, but...wow! These are gorgeous.
Posted by: yulanda | 30 September 2008 at 00:38
quite cute how all the models are yawning, really like it-adds a lovely sleepy vibe! x
Posted by: Emily | 30 September 2008 at 00:51
Oh I'm such a sucker for 3-D embellishments that obviously took a gazillion hours to create...sooooo gorgeous, and the nude coloured base fabric tempers the sacharrine sweetness of the pink flowers so well.
Posted by: AngieMontreal | 30 September 2008 at 00:54
that dress is divine! i've never really been a fendi fan, but i have to make an exception for this!
Posted by: Tara | 30 September 2008 at 01:47
I could give you a great beehive if only I were there with you!
Posted by: Sister Wolf | 30 September 2008 at 01:53
those are stunning! and i know what you mean about fendi. every now and again, they do start a new trend or deliver some surprisingly covetable items.
Posted by: sunni | 30 September 2008 at 03:50
oooh thats amazing...
that dress is magical. i actually think i need it in my life. ahhh
Posted by: megan | 30 September 2008 at 04:01

Posted by: Saskia | 30 September 2008 at 08:29
Lovely. I want that clutch badly.
Posted by: kim | 30 September 2008 at 11:01
first Marjan with the Rosettes, and now Fendi?
it's stunning!
(so are they!)
p.s. i got a comb stuck in my hair trying to quiff without hairspray when everyone in my house was asleep...oh the panic!) :P
Posted by: Monsieur M. | 30 September 2008 at 12:25
Those dresses are beyond sublime.
Posted by: rebecca | 30 September 2008 at 19:40
These roses are so beautiful!!!
Posted by: hailey | 01 October 2008 at 02:26
wowwow, i wouldnt have expected this from fendi. i've never really paid much attention to fendi's clothes
Posted by: a dreamer | 01 October 2008 at 05:45
gorgeous! for some reason I never really think of fendi as a logo-(that's chanel/gucci/prada for me). i once had fendi sunglasses that i squashed and broke and i wish i had been more careful with them.
Posted by: chriss | 01 October 2008 at 08:24
I kind of feel that I should not like this... but I do, alot!
Posted by: Queen of Suburbia T-Shirts | 01 October 2008 at 13:27
does feel a bit what we've seen at Rodarte seasons ago but still admirable.
Posted by: giancinephile | 01 October 2008 at 18:53
What a perfect detail for a wedding.
Posted by: The Style PA | 04 October 2008 at 00:05
this is Painfully beautiful. Fendi always surprises. I think they've more than made up for their formerly tacky reputation. and that Hair, what a perfect contrast.
Posted by: Jana | 18 October 2008 at 03:00
I really love this dress it's got all my weaknesses wrapped up in one stunning dress ... Pink, flowers, nude... I really want to wear it for my wedding does anyone know where I can buy it?? Or how much of is??? Ps I'm in Ireland!!
