Fendi, under Kim Jones, has presented a mesmerizing collection blending minimalist futurism with an homage to Karl Lagerfeld at Paris Couture Week
PARIS -- As Paris Couture Week drew to a close, Fendi offered a mesmerizing blend of minimalist futurism and homage to the legendary Karl Lagerfeld.
Celebrities like Zendaya and Reese Witherspoon were on hand to witness artistic director Kim Jones deliver a memorable futurist collection — with frothing, organic fringing — that not only revered the past but also embraced a forward-thinking ethos.
Here are some highlights of Thursday's fall couture displays:
Eschewing the exuberant exotics of Lagerfeld’s era with his exotic furs and feathers, Jones focused on the human form, ensuring that each garment accentuated rather than overshadowed the wearer.
“I was thinking about Karl Lagerfeld’s futurism,” Jones said, setting the tone for a collection where lightness, structure, and emotion intertwined seamlessly.
