For <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/search\/?search=haute+couture\">Fall\/Winter 2022-23<\/a>, that reciprocity reared its head once more, with a Japanese-inspired collection that celebrated the sublime craftsmanship of the brand\u2019s Italian atelier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jones took a favourite travel location as inspiration for the new collection: Kyoto, Japan, which was the first location he visited once international borders opened in 2021. For a collection that, from his telling, captured \u201cthe fragmentary nature of things, echoed\u2026 like snatches of memory\u201d, Jones traveled to different cities including Kyoto, Rome (Fendi\u2019s headquarters), and Paris (where the collection showed), to craft pieces that married sensibilities from the east and west. A Japanese purveyor of kimono silk was tapped to create fabrics that mirrored original 1700s obis\u2019 that Kim Jones sourced during his travels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_217422\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-217422\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-217422\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GettyImages-1407330929.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536\" alt=\"Fendi Haute Couture Fall Winter 2023\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-217422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PARIS, FRANCE &#8211; JULY 07: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY &#8211; For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) A model walks the runway during the Fendi Couture Haute Couture Fall Winter 2022 2023 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on July 07, 2022 in Paris, France.

Mermaid-like dresses that cling to the body, embroidered with sequins and floating strips of coloured tulle; sheer evening gowns allowed Jones\u2019 impeccable attention to detail to shine\u2014intricately beaded leaves appeared against Art Deco sequin spirals, or on sheer and satin panels. Even the more pared-back elements\u2014slouchy men\u2019s-inspired suiting, daywear made with soft chocolate brown leather\u2014had the hallmark elements of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">haute couture<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The pieces were cut perfectly to the body using sumptuous wools and soft cashmeres, or embellished with paillettes. Even seemingly simple day dresses were draped expertly across the body, or cut with micro pleats that made silk fall along the leg just so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The collection was also enhanced by the introduction of Fendi\u2019s first ever high jewellery collection, a diamond-filled extravaganza crafted by the Fendi heiress and artistic director of jewllery, Delfina Delettrez. Highlights included a three-piece parure featuring over 1,000 white diamonds and yellow baguettes, fashioned into\u2014among other things\u2014the iconic Fendi \u2018F\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI really wanted to work with the concept of purity and lightness, and I wanted the pieces to be meaningful and evocative,\u201d Delettrez told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/accessories-news\/jewelry\/fendis-high-jewelry-couture-diamond-1235246188\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WWD<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cI thought that there is nothing more evocative than the diamond, and there is nothing more meaningful at Fendi than the yellow.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">High jewellery and haute couture are naturally aligned\u2014bespoke pieces that represent the very best a luxury brand has to offer. As the lights dimmed on the bright white set Fendi erected in Paris this afternoon, it was clear that Jones\u2019 tenure at Fendi represents the very best of both the designer and the house itself. It\u2019s a marriage destined for many happy anniversaries to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_217421\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-217421\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-217421\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/GettyImages-1407331890.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536\" alt=\"Fendi Haute Couture Fall Winter 2023\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-217421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PARIS, FRANCE &#8211; JULY 07: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY &#8211; For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) A model walks the runway during the Fendi Couture Haute Couture Fall Winter 2022 2023 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on July 07, 2022 in Paris, France.
