Following last season’s “boardroom to boudoir” collection closely, Italian luxury fashion house, Fendi kickstarts Milan’s Fashion Week with the industry’s first post-Covid, in-person runway show. Complemented by photographs taken during lockdown from the bedroom window of Silvia Venturini Fendi, the Maison’s latest collection marks its creative transition from the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, to the esteemed Kim Jones.

Fendi Bids Quarantine Farewell With An All-New Spring 2021 Collection

Showcasing an array of comfortable loungewear, pajamas, and floaty wood-printed caftans, the collection prioritizes simplicity and sustainability, bringing back old Fendi favourites in the form of past models, collections, concepts, and most definitely bags tenderly renewed. Cut in barely dyed fabric, Leon Dame and Paloma Elsesser were among those swathed snuggly in satin quilting and pale lace-embroidered linens.

Alluding to the brand’s recent menswear “gardening” collection, the show included everything from a sweetly naïf rattan version of a child’s beach bag to a wicker picnic basket with SVF on its leather monogram tag, alongside a jacket featuring trompe l’oeil embossed buttons, reminiscent of other Fendi tailoring-inspired collections.
