Sometimes should tell Kim Jones Ancora Guy is not an inspiration nor a path to follow.

Hello everyone I'm Karl lagerfield speaking to you from the dead I'm here with Andre and we are both mortified by this collection, dishwater no life brown color on white girls horrible shoes and he copy my set form years ago.

Karl's probably still snubbing ALT from beyond, let's be honest here...

OMG while I was reading everyone’s comments, the boring video of the show kept playing and just saw the cheesy finale of all the girl inside the box.
When the most untalented person gets a big budget for a show - thats what you get hahaha

Horrible horrible finale the finale of nothingness

No no no no no not at all we are together Coco is here as well, Versace won't speak to us. He's off with the male angels

I think for a long time now, Fendi (and most other legacy houses owned by large firms) have actually favored this kind of autopilot approach to their RTW. With accessories and cosmetics generating almost the entirety of revenue, their collections just have to look vaguely luxurious enough to make the house still look legit, but not ambitious enough where CEOs feel like they have to invest any significant amount of resources into them.

You end up with these zombie collections that pass by you, you absentmindedly scroll through them, and you forget what you were even doing.

This is more sterile than an analysis plastic jar...beige over beige over beige. Kim Jones has changed the meaning of the FF logo, from "Fun Furs" to "f*ck Fendi"...

Instead of giving champagne to the customers, the SAs at Fendi shops worldwide would need to give them Prozac/Fluoxetine pills. It´s totally depressing!

This looks a bit like Chloe designed by toddlers. Fendi is always fun and creative. How could he manage to make everything looks so bland, boring and dead. Even this casting can't help.

I wonder if we let Silvia and Delfina design womenswear for few collections, what it would look like. Surely it would not look like this.

Since he arrived I could only think of one word for his tenure… beige. It’s all so beige, so bland, so sterile, disappearing to the background immediately. These are okay clothes to be fair, but they don’t conjure up any emotions except for tired. Kim Jones just doesn’t know how to dress women.

I feel like he (and even LVMH) went into this thinking he’s the new Karl, and will be given full, unprecedented control of Dior later on. He got away with having hits at LV and Dior and people expected it at Fendi too.

he must have some skills in bed

Since when has being boring and lifeless in bed become fun?!?

I can see that to because Fendi have been in the business of putting on top fashion shows for so long that they would know how boring this is, there's no way those former assistants who worked on the Karl lagerfield for all those years looks at this and say oh wonderful. They are on autopilot.

I personally don't think he's good at women's wear.

The models with short hair were lucky ("lucky") because if you look at the girls with long hair, they just decide to fck them up and make a rat's nest on their heads.

The core reason why Kim's Fendi sucks is because the needed skill-set for womenswear is so different to menswear. Remember that the codes of contemporary menswear and womenswear originate from different places: menswear from Savile Row and womenswear from Haute Couture.

A menswear designer can pretty much create a thriving business of block shapes that are altered for seasonal lengths and widths. With womenswear, designers have to actively participate in the flow and silhouette of what they create.

Kim's Fendi is lacking in terms of delivering an attractive flow and silhouette. His clothes hang lifelessly and his silhouettes are unflattering and bulky.

I like this collection a lot. The show is a better viewing, the stills don't do it justice. I think, from a production standpoint, lighter backdrops for runway shows cheapen the look because the light reads more flourescent in stills. It also dulls the colors of the collection. So, there's that note for any show producers.

The bags look better close up, but I wish they would have put more flowers inside
And they don’t need the stupid drawstring on top

Well that's the debate for the past 15 years, isn't it? Alber Elbaz mentioned many times designing for 2D flat screen vs 3D real life

I always think the catwalk photos/videos can't capture the handwork of MGC Dior while Simone Rocha's dreamy frocks look cheap, itchy and super plasticky full of polyester in real life

 

[Cocteau Stone]

The first three looks are nice but then that is it. They don't really have much of a relation to Fendi as well, but at least dome form of craftsmanship is present in them.

It's all just a dour, curdled mess here. The models look bleak, the colours are wan, fabrics are flat and the set up with the styling is childish. He really doesn't know how to have actual fun, which is something Fendi always embodied one way or another. He just constantly goes back to his colour tonals and twinkish/juvenile styling shticks.

So Pierpapolo Piccioli according to Miss Tweed is going to Fendi??? This collection was that bad I guess

According to the teams at Fendi he ignore absolutely everyone after the last fashion show and left the building with no communication to the teams present just left lol

They internally knew that Kim would leave after this season but he's behavior post show was cold.
