Kim Jones debuts first Fendi womenswear collection inspired by the Fendi sisters Chloe Street “Fun isn’t always just about bright colours,” said Kim Jones, Fendi’s newly appointed creative director, in the notes that accompanied his audience-free autumn/ winter 2021 runway show. And certainly today’s offering, which kicked off the Milan Fashion Week schedule, was not lacking in joy, despite swerving any retina-burning brights in favour of a restrained colour palette of taupe, camel, off-white and chocolate brown. Jones looked to the wardrobes of the five Fendi sisters when designing the collection, the overall vibe of which was minimal and sophisticated, with butter-soft knee high boots, tailored wool skirts that gently contoured and silky shirts attesting to the laid-back elegance of one of Italy’s premier fashion clans.
