A tribute to Rome, to the Eternal City, this is the only way to interpret the new summer collection by Fendi, which at Paris Fashion Week 2022 presented dresses with baroque details and mysterious touches.
Summer has always brought us back to bright colors, to light fabrics that drape the body, to the feeling of freedom and desire to travel and escape from reality, taking a break.

Kim Jones relives all these sensations by reinterpreting the dress codes of the history of Rome, at a time when the noble dynasties made the city great in its coexistence between the sacred and the profane.
Thus we find the red and white of the cardinals that invade hoods and cloaks, blue, black, purple that instead tell the charm and mystery of the nobility, interpreted according to the Baroque taste.
To make this journey evocative, which on the Instagram channels can be relived in every fragment, from the looks to the show itself, is the location: the large halls of the Palais Brogniart turn off the lights and come alive with virtual arches, as if to put on stage that taste for the show and the surprise that the Baroque theater also liked so much.
The most beautiful looks of the show among capes, cloaks, bright fabrics
Refined, serene, otherworldly, this is how the square silhouette dresses from the Fendi summer collection are summarized in a caption, and which step by step enhance the impressiveness of the wearer: dresses that tell of an ancient and modern charm with their stucco details inspired by those of noble palaces, tunics that can coexist beautifully with bustier dresses with transparent details.
Thus glamor meets the costume dress, making bright fabrics the key to interpreting this new dress code.
Hoods and cloaks, often complements of long dresses and minidresses, suggest what could be a new summer trend and a new anatomy for formal dresses, as well as that of prints inspired by the painted faces of paintings, which could also embellish t-shirts in a pret a porter look.
