Freedom today, for him, also means wearing a skirt: "we women were the first to wear men's jackets, I don't see why they shouldn't use our wardrobe" says Silvia Venturini Fendi, who imagines a new tired dandy for the coming cold days to stay at home in overalls and slippers and ready to dive into these new, hopefully roaring, twenties. And to do it also with skirts and knee-highs, brooches and earrings. "These new 20s have been intense, I liked the idea of making a point and talking about dandyism as a reaction to a difficult moment, for this reason - says the designer after the show in the Milanese space of the brand, set up by the artist Nico Vascellari - I focused on the ceremony of dressing as self-care, which also includes a detail such as a brooch or an earring "or even a watch that becomes the Mary Jane strap worn with logo motif knee-highs. The classic is omnipresent and revisited: blazers become hoods, wide trousers end in a half skirt or have back slits, outerwear have batwing sleeves, sweaters lengthen to become dresses to be worn over Bermuda shorts.
For the evening, double-breasted jackets are cropped, formal trousers have a very high waist, tailcoats are worn with Mary Janes with the watch (working) as a strap.
On the catwalk not only nostalgia for the past, but also what Silvia Venturini Fendi calls "future relics" such as the 'crypto wallet', the wallet for cryptocurrencies.
