Kim Jones’ Fall/Winter 2024 for Fendi dives into the house’s 1984 archives, a period echoing with the vibrant energy of London’s club scene and the timeless allure of Rome. It’s a masterful blend of opposites, where classic tailoring meets progressive spirit, and Italian sophistication dances with British eccentricity.
Imagine a time capsule bursting with the best of both worlds: 1980s London’s Blitz Kids and Leigh Bowery’s avant-garde reign, intertwined with the eternal elegance of Rome and the heritage of Fendi itself. This is the inspiration behind Jones‘ collection, where history whispers through meticulously tailored pieces and playful accessories.
Think sleek, waist-conscious suits that flatter the figure, paired with statement boots destined to become cult favorites. Jones injects a touch of whimsy with cozy sweater fragments – turtlenecks and sleeves – peeking out from crisp white shirts or pantsuits. It’s a subtle rebellion against the expected, a nod to the individualistic spirit of the New Romantics.
The collection culminates in a breathtaking finale, where Roman statues, meticulously restored by Fendi, are immortalized on gossamer gowns. It’s a poignant tribute to the house’s heritage and a testament to Jones’ ability to weave history into contemporary fashion with a light touch.
