SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

Drawing on the codes and themes presented during Kim Jones’ Spring/Summer 2021 Couture debut for the house, FENDI presents a capsule collection that translates the sensibility of the season into ready-to-wear pieces. Adopting the collection’s motifs of fluid androgyny and exquisite romance, and presenting them through translations of key silhouettes, the capsule collection is a reflection of timeless elegance and a contemporary homage to British creativity and Italian glamour. Inspired by the Bloomsbury set and Virginia Woolf’s seminal binary-blurring novel Orlando, the Fendi Couture Collection explores the liberated British sensibility of the 1920s alongside historic Roman grandeur. Expressed in the capsule through cady and wool silk tailoring and crisp cotton shirting, alongside elegantly draped satin dresses and gowns, the conventional codes of masculinity and femininity are united in monochromatic harmony.
