Exploring both the traditional womenswear and menswear sides, the Fendi Winter 2023 collection curated by Stefano Pilati reaches a new conclusion for the house, going beyond gender to something essentially more character-driven and iconoclastic.
“Milano versus Roma: I am from Milan but there is a freedom in the Roman style that Milan does not have – there is always ‘more’. This is a coming together of two worlds and I am so touched by the opportunity that Kim, Silvia and Fendi have given me to be so much myself while exploring theirs, the incomparable world of Fendi,” said Stefano Pilati.
Reflecting on the 1920s as well as the 2020s, Kim Jones – Fendi Artistic Director of Womenswear and Couture – and Stefano Pilati explore the idea of ‘the flapper’ for today, proposing answers as to whom might fulfil that role now both through clothing and casting.
“Stefano is one of the designers I admire the most. I was always in love with his work and he is somebody I look up to – he has been an inspiration for what I do. Stefano epitomises Friends of Fendi: He is a friend, an inspiration and a designer for modern times, always looking to the future, asking questions and proffering solutions,” said Kim Jones.
