Kim Jones To Debut His First Collection For Fendi Early Next Year

MILAN, ITALY — This past September, D.M. Fashion Book announced that Dior‘s menswear artistic director Kim Jones will join Italian luxury house Fendi as artistic director for womenswear collections (see it here).

The British designer will unveil a couture collection for Fendi on January 27 in Paris during the city’s Haute Couture Week.

Silvia Venturini Fendi, artistic director of accessories and men’s wear collections, and her daughter Delfina Delettrez Fendi, jewelry creative director, will also be involved in designing the couture collection. 

The collection for the Rome-based luxury house will once again be presented at Palais Brongniart.

It will mark Jones’ first women’s and first couture collection ever and it will also be the first time Fendi presents a spring couture collection. The house has in the past only created couture collections for fall and dubbed “haute fourrure.”

Jones remains at the creative helm of Dior Men.
