Collars are something I have always loved. My mother attributes this to the way she would always dress me in Peter Pan collars as a small child.
A collar can add a hint of elegance to any outfit. They can be both masculine and amazingly feminine in equal measure, and I couldn't be more delighted to see them on the rise.
Natalie Portman at Palm Springs International Film Festival in a gorgeous collared and cuffed dress by Vionnet.
(In my opinion, the only part of this outfit that really doesn't work is the shoes)
Alexa Chung in Carven for Elle last year. Alexa is like the poster child for collars- she wears them all the time, and they look fantastic on her.
Emma Watson in the same Carven collared dress, with a Burberry Spring '11 trench.
(who do you think wore it better?)
Peaches Geldof in a pretty lace collar.
Anyway, back to; Delfina Delettrez.
Delettrez is the daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi, who is the creative director of accessories for Fendi (thank you Vogue). Delfina is twenty-two years old, and a fourth generation Fendi. According to her website, her style is "gothic, romantic, rock, fresh, passionate, laid-back, playful and sunny." Seems like quite a promising description to me. Some of the designs are also a little McQueen-esque which is prehaps another reason I quite admire them..
