Fendi’s Spring 2021 Collection Shows You How to Wear Socks and Sandals — Now and Next Year
It’s long been the position of fashion designers to show customers what they will probably want in the future. But if the future is uncertain, what they want now may have to suffice. Fendi’s spring ’21 collection, which showed Wednesday at Milan Fashion Week, had a little bit of both. While the clothing looked to a future where working from and staying at home was in the rearview mirror, the footwear was firmly rooted in the comfort focus of the present circumstances. That is, socks and sandals. Yellow socks and woven sandals at Fendi spring ’21.

Most attendees watched the show virtually from the brand’s website. Fendi spring ’21. CREDIT: WWD Models walked coed in a socially distance
