Kim Jones, Fendi’s Artistic Director of Couture and Womenswear, channels Karl Lagerfeld’s futurism in the Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Jones emphasizes a humanistic approach, focusing on the body, silhouette, and handcrafted details of couture. Structure and decoration intertwine seamlessly, creating a vision of precision and emotion.
The Essence of Karl Lagerfeld’s Futurism
Craftsmanship takes center stage as Fendi’s artisans showcase their supreme skills. From embroiderers to tailors, pattern cutters to leather workers, each detail is meticulously crafted. The collection embraces a ‘human futurism,’ merging past constants with present and future elements, where structure becomes decoration and vice versa.
The collection features innovative silhouettes and materials, from the ‘Scatola’ silhouette to supple crocodile leather. Precision geometric pattern cutting creates new volumes in fabrics like silk gazar, while knitted dresses elegantly embrace the wearer with Shibari harnesses. Crocodile leather travels through clothing and accessories, optimizing lightness and movement inspired by dance.
Precious Practicality in Accessories
Fendi extends the notion of precious practicality to accessories, including bespoke Baguette bags and FEND Gems Baguette bags. Crafted from sumptuous materials like supple crocodile and adorned with platinum leaf and white diamonds, these bags are personal, luxurious objects. Fine eyewear, designed by Delfina Delettrez Fendi, offers tailored structures in 18k white gold and white diamonds, enhancing both vision and adornment.
A Symphony of Precision and Emotion
Kim Jones collaborates with renowned composer Max Richter to create a score that echoes the collection’s theme of precision and emotion. The music enhances the sensory experience, adding depth and emotion to the runway presentation.
