This is Kim's first collection for Fendi that I find acceptable...

This could be a Tadashi Shoji collection or any other NY designer creating for rich housewives. It's so sloppy looking. MGC could give him a lesson or two on dressmaking. The "draping" is pathetic. Those belts (?) look like random pieces of fabric attached last minute before the show.

 

[GivenchyAddict]

This is his best collection. Does not mean it is good though.

Even Silvia decided to stay in the shadow.

 

[JohannesL]

He is probably the worst couturier of the era! I hate to say that even Elie Saab and Stepane Rolland bring more to the table than him. He has no sense of color, limited imagination of silhouettes and knows nothing about construction and techniques.

 

[WAVES]

his best proposal to date.
this said… the colour palette still needs improvement.

was hoping the cast to be stronger.

 

[tourbillions]

howd he make fur look so undesirable.. project runway design a pageant dress challenge

 

[Lola701]

His Best But still miles behind Silvia’s solo effort…
I’m confused that a house known for Fur and RTW is only showing eveningwear…

 

[Phuel]

Like everything this person touches, it’s just so generic/mediocre/pedestrian— and that’s being positive. Another positive I’ll give this is that it’s a rather humble, and appropriately plain presentation, stripped off the distracting multimillion dollar sets and production of his premiere.

If there’s such an offering as discount/outlet HC, this is it. It’s a little of this, a little of that by algorithm, and absolutely no POV or distinction. Unless a clientele is a lifelong Fendi devotee, or just smitten by his unrivalled gormless charm, what is offered here that can’t be easily had anywhere else— and for far better design and construction???

 

[IloveDiorHomme]

I am so tired of this trend of models carrying bags in a stupid way...

This was funny the first time we saw it at Prada years ago but this has gone too far. Especially when it's so repetitive during the collection.

 

[FashionFanatico]

i expected worse. but it's still robotic and soulless.
and what's about these peculiar hand placements of most models?
looks like first stage of a heart attack.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

Where’s the Fendi in this? Please explain, Kim.

 

[MulletProof]

Well.....I thought it was divine. Some looks obstruct the view for me (like the last two ones, whatever that is..), but the first dresses in the first post are what dreams are made of and what you go to couture for.. love how they moved in the livestream, and the backs. That first brown one.. can you imagine? I'd take it everywhere for a ride!

I agree actually! Quite desirable pieces here and I’m happy he’s finally expanding to also include daywear and cocktail instead of just an endless parade of somewhat pretty gowns. Is it the pinnacle of highly innovative design? No, and there are definitely easy-to-spot spaces for improvement, but overall it’s a step forward for the Fendi couture offering under his reign.

PS: Given that this is Fendi, is that coat faux fur?

Cold, Clinical and boring, Fendi was all about sultry glamour and her furs.

 

[RaisinBoy]

Isn’t everyone tired of Kim Jones and his dated approaches to everything he touches?!? Thought i was looking at Ellie Saab or some other not-exactly-fashion label… Tragic.
Also, seeing this a say after Balenciaga couture which was beautiful AND modern, looks like we regressed 40 years back again.

Where is ANYTHING decent in this?!?
