Fendi Haute Couture F/W 2021.22 Rome

[eugenius]

This brand gets what it deserves.

Meanwhile, their menswear line is totally lacking and has zero identity. Never has, and probably never will.

But my all means, put the seasoned menswear designer in charge of couture.

Sure, Jan.

Ok fellas All of you have been so correct and I was a fool with my expectations. I don't care because I m in love again and he's so cute. That doesn't mean that I m not responsible for the craft, this is why I suggest you search about Fendi furs anno 1983. Lagerfeld inspiration was geological corrugations and Squirrel's fur plunged in honey during Sunset, just to understand the right shade of color' Shapes are not modern anymore and Tech is forgotten because, after have seen this collection pics, their sillyness.

The Robe manteaux on Paulina Porizcova could have been a real statement if it wasn't so bad shaped. Are they joking with the audience? And please explain me the function, don't matter the terms, of MariaCarla cover on. I didn't understand the cacophony of all those ruffles

But I know Why Boscono was there: to spread samples of her K-way creations to her illustrious coll1gues!

Taste wise this is Maria Grazia Chiuri level. They should team up

I have the same impression like the first womens collection he offered.

some of his silhouettes look incredible cheap and momsy. like evening dresses from a desolated albanian departmentstore from year 2000

After looking carefully at the technique alone, I can say that it's quite an achievement in regards to craftmanship...however the way Kim's incorporated said techniques is very questionable, only god knows how he manages to add so much weight to models' waists, particularly sad with the pleated looks, interesting up close but on the body...they don't look right. He still has to figure out how to enhance the female figure.

I'll be generous and say that it's a clear improvement over his first show, maybe in five years time he will present something at the level that he should be...or at least abandon that palette of dusty pastels which just gets on my nerves.

The craftsmanship is exquisite in some of those pieces but this is terribly boring and unoriginal, no? All those supermodels, all that production value (Luca Guadagnino and Max Richter) and this is final result? Extremely underwhelming considering Karl did much better shows with far less theatrics, for example Fall 2017 Couture and Fall 2018 Couture.

Kim Jones is an ambitious designer, there is no doubt about that, but unfortunately his ambition does not manifest in interesting or dynamic ideas or collections. His last three Fendi shows for example have (essentially) had a nearly identical tonal/beige colour palette. He's clearly no brave enough to take on any vibrant colours, which for me, was what Fendi did so well, especially in those Karl Couture shows.

Great casting and and production. But resulted in an unremarkable collection. I mean, I always trust the Fendi atelier to deliver exquisite craftsmanship, as it has been shown before in past works. However, Kim's vision is a beige as his color palette. There's nothing to write home or excitement. Some pieces are just beautifully made clothes. And that's not what Fendi couture stands for.

So many looks are quite heavy handed when it's supposed to be light and airy. Remember Karl's works that reimagined mink fur into airy light feathers. At this point, I'm not sure if the house benefit Kim as a CD. It's more like they can manage one that is as good, or even better without a CD.

It looks like a generic collection you would see in a minor fashion city like LA or Barcelona. At it's core couture is about tailoring. He can't even do that. Instead we got heavy handed decoration,tortured fabrics, poor tailoring, and an overall lack in taste. There is so much talent out there. There is no reason to spread one designer across two brands. Especially one with no experience in Women's RTW. Unsurprisingly the best look is the Men's suit. It proves the fact that he has no business here.

I kind of feel like this is zero percent relevant. Like at all. 1st of all, it's ugly on the body. The silhouettes are Fing horrendous. 2nd, maybe it's the bubble I live in, but the energy around me is not interested in or celebratory of decadence for the sake of decadence. There are no looks, garments, or ideas in this collection that are fashion forward that can inspire anyone (for the right reasons). This is not inspirational or aspirational. If anything it inspires the guillotine.

Also, I understand this is Fendi, and haute couture, but how in any capacity are these furs relevant or modern? Utilizing animal skins and furs for an effect that can be achieved by using countless other "non wasteful of life" techniques?? Do not get me wrong. I would be the first person to pounce on a Fendi fur from like 07 and 08. But those were fur coats... We can debate all day long about the ethics of fur, but there is no way of getting around the fact that it's insulting to think killing an animal to pick apart and use teenie weenie pieces of its fur to make a lightweight airy mosaic is cool. If you are going to use fur, USE FUR. Use it for its PURPOSE.

It will be interesting to look back on this (hopefully) to see how style evolved from this period where masters of craft create for the sake of catering to rich people who are dumb enough to blow money on a product that meets any of the criteria: takes a long time to make, is expensive, is exclusive.

 

[mistress_f]

it's better than the absolute, irredeemable previous collection, but it's still unimaginative, poorly designed and executed and in most cases, ill-fitting as hell. wtf

Why does this looks like a third line "couturier" show from 1996?

Lmao, he maybe thinks this is good or something. Gimme a rest.

 

[Sheldon96]

I was delighted to see this collection. I really like the white color and the way he has expressed it. Different women, attitudes, styles, feelings, forms. It's just a color but he has given it life
