Regarding womenswear, Kim Jones's skills are on the same level as Matthew Williams's. The only difference is that Jones hasn't included streetwear in his Fendi collections yet. The knitwear is absolutely terrible, same could be said about tailoring and the choice of fabrics. The look on Grace Elizabeth is the worst one, it already feels old and doesn't fit well. The closing look was a pink mess and I'm 100% sure the team thought they produced a vision.

Does anyone have any news on Jones's contract?

Not very exciting collection as usual (still better than his last, the "green" one). I guess it must be somewhat selling or they would have removed him a long time ago (contract or not), he is apparently "very good friend" with alexandre arnault ( if there someone he is not "very good friend with"?) so it must help too. Currently, the Fendi woman is not someone you would want to spend time with at happy hour for sure.

This is bleak. Why is he still here? His Fendi collections continue to look like some AI generated mess.

it’s his best effort so far but it’s still underwhelming. it all looked much better in motion but seeing it in still images looks much worse.
the tailoring is not as sharp as it should be for a house like Fendi which left me perplexed.

he’s got one of the most boring colour palettes season after season.

also, the casting is so so boring. no spark but considering the clothes…

The only good thing about this show is the set/lighting.

This is just a typical KJ Fendi collection at this point. Neutral, beige, gray, and lack of joy. His color palettes from his debut to this collection are always so predictable. Kim mistakes this as his signature while it only shows his lack of confidence in doing womenswear. The worst thing about Kim's tenure is the lack of vibrant personality of his women. Karl was never shy away from anything, and his women also have the same adventurous taste as him.
The tailoring is decent, but that's expected from a menswear designer. This collection has that MGC energy, with the only difference being that her dressmaking skill is still better than his. His dresses still look mediocre, especially the last four dresses when they are in motion. Also, those dress colors look so out of place in this collection, it's like he finished the collection and forget to add any bright colors so decided to add them last minute.
And the styling is the big no for me. Please DO NOT bring back dress-over-pants. Melanie Ward, you can do better.

It's sad to see Fendi become more irrelevant with every passing season.

Good casting but that's about it. Nothing looks luxurious which is is now lost in Fendi. This looks like a Tod's collection.

This collection is a direct copypasta of his latest Dior one (the one in Paris, not in Cairo), skirts over trousers included.

This is Siriano level of cheap. He always manages to choose the worst fabrics possible. Clothes looked paper thin, something straight out of shein. The tailoring is abysmal.

just nothing, as expected

 

[bc collector]

I don't understand this guy: he works with some of the best craftsmen in the field and does not seem to know what to do with them.
Does he know where he is? Does he know the history of the house?
Comparing to what he's doing at Dior (his best gig, so far), he seems very little in tune with the Fendi heritage.

 

[thatsfierce]

Yawn.

 

[Kennnnn]

The trousers with a buckle lying on a bias over the groin area... just vile. What in the world...

 

[Lola701]

Silvia did a great job for the bags and shoes…
The designer by her side seems to be more interested in twisting necklines of cardigans instead of designing. Well…

 

[RaisinBoy]

Philipp Plein for Kooples “the couture” collection.

Dont insult Tods, lmao!

What's happening with Fendi bothers me a lot more than Virginie's mess at Chanel.
