Kim Jones is doing double duty this season, first exhibiting Fendi‘s resort collection during New York Fashion Week, and now revealing his new concepts for the house’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection in Milan.
Jones created this SS23 collection with a softer approach and a lighter palette, utilizing the color green in various shades and formats, as a clean break from the multi-collab and street style heavy aesthetic seen on his NYFW runway (designed alongside Silvia Venturini, Marc Jacobs, Porter, Tiffany & Co., and Sarah Jessica Parker).
Rich satins and sheer chiffons, as well as blushing silks, ribbed cotton, and soft wools, made a comeback. Green was a hallmark throughout the collection, appearing in neon (floral appliqué, knee-high boots, and shift dresses), olive (tulle tunics, zip-front swearers, and purses), and moss (floral appliqué, knee-high boots, and shift dresses) (billowing pants and shoulder bags).
Jones supplemented the collection’s color palette with punched-up primary hues such as pink and genuine blue to fill out the 60+ runway ensembles.
In addition, with a strong emphasis on footwear and accessories for Spring, the company debuted numerous new trend alternatives for women, including stacked-heel slides with an open-toe, knee-high stretch boots, a platform sneaker, and a fur tote bag with top stitched logo ribbon detailing.
The entire Fendi women’s SS23 collection is available to view on the label’s website.
