It wouldn’t be a Fendi show without a focus on the bags.

Kim Jones had Rome on his mind when designing the fall 2022 Fendi collection. Specifically: the imagery of Delfina Delettrez walking into the label’s Roman headquarters donning a printed top she plucked directly from her mother Silvia Venturini Fendi’s wardrobe. Given Jones’s history with taking influence from Fendi’s home city, this source of inspiration wasn’t too surprising.
Jones looked to the glitzy Fendi archives for more, diving deep into the Italian fashion house’s spring 1986 and fall 2000 lines specifically. The latter collection, designed by Jones’s predecessor Karl Lagerfeld, provided ample inspiration when it came to prints. There were gossamer-sheer pants paired with matching tops and gloves with an inherently Italian Memphis-like print, for instance. That same print was rendered on tops that fell ever-so-slightly off the shoulder.
“It brings me directly to the history of my family,” Silvia Venturini Fendi said of the inspiration behind the prints. “I saw these prints on myself; Kim saw them on Delfina. What interests me the most about fashion is when it isn’t something just for the moment—and with Fendi, that is always the case, because it is never banal. There is always a story behind each piece, something a little different.
