Kim Jones Launches Couture-Inspired Limited Edition Fendi Capsule Collection
Designed by Kim Jones, the new Fendi capsule collection translates the sensibility of the house's most recent Haute Couture show into ready-to-wear.
Fendi's Kim Jones launches a limited edition capsule collection that draws on the themes presented during the Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture debut for the house. Playing with gender-fluid motifs and romantic silhouettes, the ready-to-wear collection will be exclusively available for a two-week period with strictly limited quantities at select Fendi boutiques across the globe from mid-April 2021.
Taking inspiration from the Bloomsbury set and Virginia Woolf's seminal novel Orlando, the Fendi Haute Couture collection explores the liberated British sensibility of the 1920s along with historic Roman grandeur, paying homage to both British creativity and Italian glamour. This duality is mirrored by English designer Jones' appointment at the Italian luxury label. In the capsule, cady and wool silk tailoring and crisp cotton shirting, alongside elegantly draped satin dresses and gowns, give a reflection of timeless elegance as seen at the Haute Couture show.
Accessories from the runway, like ballerina slippers embossed with Karligraphy beaded monograms (a reference to former Fendi designer Karl Lagerfeld) or knee-high satin boots, are reimagined for the capsule. Brand new creations such as a collection of baroque pearl jewelry, frozen in resin and embossed with rhinestones also debut. Fendi's signature Baguette and Peekaboo bags are presented in limited-edition iterations, adorned with pearls or displaying prints inspired by the Bloomsbury Group’s home of Charleston House in Sussex.
