Fendi through the shared lens of Kim Jones and Silvia Venturini Fendi is a continued exploration of both the archives and iconic House muses. Since his appointment, Jones has been inspired by the Fendi family, looking to the wardrobes of both Delfina Delettrez Fendi and Silvia Venturini Fendi for inspiration.
How they dressed set the tone for Jones’ Fendi, giving him the fundamentals of what Fendi is and who the Fendi woman is. This season, that woman is chic and elegant (as always) but explored in a more functional, utilitarian way. For Fall 2024, Kim Jones explores a new way of dressing, taking the collection on a tour of the world, where the easy dressing of London meets the romantic elegance of Rome.
Playful pieces ooze a pragmatic but stylish sensibility. Ready-to-wear is expressive, emoting femininity despite a heavy focus on tailoring and a mostly neutral palette with pops of olive green and blue. Structured pieces are juxtaposed with sheer tulles and organza, worn underneath strong outerwear in leather and shearlings—a testament to Fendi’s artisanal craft.
The Bags of Fall 2024
Ahead of its centennial, Fendi’s past is made present again, with returning codes and motifs that date back to the House’s founding in 1925. Bags by Silvia Venturini Fendi explores past styles, deconstructed and revived for the modern day.
Echoing the codes of the RTW, linking the common storied theme of Selleria, House icons like the Peekaboo, Baguette, and By The Way—a Fendi classic—are clutched alongside the new Simply FENDI bag. This satchel echoes the same codes as new iterations of old icons, soft and relaxed in a complimenting color palette. Discover bags from the runway below, images via Fendi.
