In his spring collection, Jones blended corset elements from the last Fendi couture collection, which he said sold very well, with things his favorite fashion plates might wear: neat coats with a gentle flare, masculine tailoring, pencil skirts, twin sets and body-skimming tube dresses.
Often, Jones throws in something from Karl Lagerfeld’s epic tenure at Fendi. The slipdress was made of yellow lacquered linen.
Jones created a new species of print for a silk tank dress by blending snakeskin print, animal spots, and an allover Fendi logo.
Craftsmen mounted shearling strips on organza to create the illusion of a ribbed bath towel for pencil skirts and loose jackets.
In spite of looking polished and ladylike, this wasn’t a very exciting fashion show or a compelling evolution for Fendi ready-to-wear.
The leisurely pace of the models and the music Jones often listens to during his morning commute, to the show had a melancholy mood.
