Regarding womenswear, Kim Jones refracted two iconic FENDI collections through a distinctly contemporary lens, reconfiguring the past for today and considering the house’s signatures with a fresh perspective, leading him to rediscover and draw inspiration from the house’s Spring/Summer 1986 collection. The end result is a collection made for powerful women exploring strength and softness, which, according to Jones, represents a “wardrobe designed for every aspect of a woman’s life, for every generation”.
As for the men’s collection designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the brand is thrusted in an artistic world where old elegance and the New Roaring Twenties make one. The collection is a treasure trove of future heirlooms – reimagining a gentleman’s wardrobe for a neo-dandy riff on perennial classics. Twisting and turning sartorial tropes, formality is disrupted in playful gestures that break the boundaries of archetype.
