FENDI’s newest project is a high jewelry collection that explores the "fragmentary nature of things." The collection was first unveiled at Paris Couture Week alongside the brand’s latest Fall/Winter 2022 apparel collection, which moves away from Roman influence and examines other cultures.
The collection explores themes like the East and West, feminine and masculine, traditional and modern, natural and man-made, and other juxtapositions to examine their inherent in-betweenness. The garments take influence from traditional Japanese culture, utilizing the kimono and Kata Yuzen, a Japanese hand-printing technique, as focal points for long-length silk dresses.
The new ‘Flavus’ jewelry collection from FENDI comprises necklaces, earrings, and a cocktail ring, all equipped with FENDI’s signature FF monogram and accompanying bling. The fragmented FENDI Fall/Winter 2022 collection can be viewed online.
