Fendi Menswear is so irrelevant, I don't know why they even bother to be honest. Whilst the craftsmanship and finish of the ready to wear is a quite high level, the overall vibe and aesthetic of it is so boring and redundant, no? It doesn't fill a void in the menswear market and surely doesn't offer anything new and innovative. What's more most of this won't even be available in boutiques.
Silvia Fendi is skilled at womenswear, and as we all saw from the success of her solo collections last year, this is exactly where she should be designing. She is terrible at menswear, sincerely, one of the worst menswear designers out there at the moment!
They really should have given Fendi Mens to Kim Jones, that would have been the right fit. He is not the right fit for Fendi Women's and not particularly suited to Dior Homme either in my opinion. He is all about bright colours, pop-art-esque collaborations, hype-beasts, etc. All of that is perfect for a brand like Fendi.
