Inspired by Karl Lagerfeld's Y2K-era work, Kim Jones turned our affinity for 'ugly' shoes into something new and modern.
"It's about continuity," said Jones in a press release, which explains that his starting point was Lagerfeld's Fendi archives from 1996 to 2002. "I am interested in looking at things that Karl has done, and seeing how we can develop them — both visually and technically."
Lagerfeld expertly balanced modernity in his designs with a sophisticated refinement and sprinkle of daringness. The Fendi Spring 2023 rubber platforms meet modernity where it stands while being adventurous with color. The brand's inverted F insignia is seen stamped on shoes throughout for a subtle nod to logomania."At Fendi, I am constantly thinking about practicality as well as luxury," added Jones.
What may have been ugly before is seen with new eyes today as desirable. Images of Fendi's camel-colored platform slides and off-white, knee-high boots are stuck in our minds. These shoes change the way you walk, adding a weight to your movement, while striking with their minimalistic-chic look. Other accessories in the show took their own fearless approach towards weirdness. Double-sacs for a handbag. Tiny purses on necklaces and keychains adorning a bigger satchel. Neon greens and jagged metal logos for a handle.
