Fendi’s Fall 2022 Bags Are Mix of Old Favorites and New Icons

There’s no stopping Silvia Venturini Fendi, Kim Jones, and the House of Fendi these days. Season after season, it’s been one stunning runway show after the next and the brand’s Fall 2022 show was no exception. Shown in Milan during Milan Fashion Week, Fendi Fall 2022 is an ode to the Fendi archives and a beautiful one at that. The new collection explores the past, reconfigured for the present with a modern, fresh twist on House signatures.

“The best way to explore the FENDI archives is through the Fendi wardrobes” – Kim Jones

Fendi Fall 2022 Runway Bags

The inspiration for this collection came from Kim Jones’ rediscovery of Fendi’s Spring/Summer 1986 collection. Jones lamented that despite these collections being from the past, they still somehow feel very much relevant for the now. Reworked geometric prints and an exploration of strength and softness, the RTW pieces are simply beautiful in their own right. Of course, we’re here for the bags, but it would be remiss not to mention how stunning each look as a whole was.

Now, back to the bags, Silvia Venturini Fendi focused on existing icons reinvented to compliment the RTW pieces. Icons like the Baguette, Fendi First, and the Peekaboo appear alongside newer silhouettes like the Fendigraphy (first seen on the SS 2022 runway) as well as a brand new small shoulder bag that is featured throughout in a myriad of iterations.

Fendi’s dedication to showcasing the storied craftsmanship of Italy and its people continues with the hand in hand project. Intarsia fur details, as well as all-over fur, appear on bags such as the Fendi First. Lastly, the ever-iconic, always classic Peekaboo celebrates its 25th anniversary, and for this collection, Venturini Fendi revives some of the House’s most beloved renditions.
