Few handbags defined early 2000s fashion as largely as the Baguette, which has cemented its place in both pop culture and modern handbag history. And just as the Baguette helped to define a specific time in fashion, Marc Jacobs too, can be attributed to helping to define Y2K fashion. It’s only natural that two iconic signifiers of simpler times, a time long before TikTok, influencers, and the reining digital age, have come together to create a special collection.
Uniting Fendi icons and silhouettes with the iconic signatures of Marc Jacobs, Fendi by Marc Jacobs explores the storied DNA of Fendi through the modern, Americana lens of Jacobs himself. A longtime friend and mentor to Kim Jones, the Artistic Director of Couture and Womenswear at Fendi, this collaboration, though unexpected, is a natural fit.
Nods to the Past
Drawing inspiration from NYC at the time of the millennium, the collection, which includes bags, RTW, and accessories, is a tribute to Fendi icons, specifically the Baguette. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, fans were given a first glimpse of the partnership on the runway back in September alongside the Tiffany and Co collaboration, which launched earlier this year. The capsule collection launched yesterday, just in time for summer, with a variety of lust-worthy pieces that fashion lovers and handbag collectors will love. In addition to the reiterations of the Baguette, Marc Jacobs also gives the classic FENDI ROMA logo his own spin, which appears throughout on bleached white denim, the Fendi Sunshine shopper, new versions of the Fendi First, swimwear, and more.
