Fendi FW 2023 Explores Classicism And Elegance, Through The Lens Of Subtle Subversion

For its showcase in Milan, Fendi unveiled its Women Autumn/Winter 2023 collection designed by Artistic Director Kim Jones.

For Autumn/Winter 2023, Fendi Maison explores classicism and elegance, through the lens of subtle subversion.

Drawing upon the wardrobe of Delfina Delettrez Fendi, the collection plays with binaries and gender archetypes in a deconstruction of lady like sophistication.

Masculine tailoring and traditional fabrics are twisted into feminine forms, while elements of utilitarianism appear throughout: boilersuits, aprons, uniforms. Lace is lacquered and layered; flashes of fetishism appear through slips of lingerie peeking through, or thigh-high lace-up boots.

In a punk perspective, knitwear appears cleanly slashed or gently warped for a nonchalant silhouette. The wardrobe includes satin dresses romantically trailed by billowing scarves. The Italian house also introduced the new FENDI Multi bag, an homage to the multipurpose sensibility innate to Fendi.
