The FENDI 23/24 autumn/winter men's clothing collection features two main styles: the sparkling elements from the 1970s disco ball and the one shoulder mid length. The double-sided cashmere, leather, jacquard silk, and knitted fabrics appear in the form of cloaks and one shoulder. More visual errors include light colored sheep shears sprayed with dark paint, similar to worn and beloved leather, covered with felt and tassel velvet. The classic FF logo is subtle yet understated.

Artistic director Kim Jones paints a picture of elegance with Fendi’s latest collection. Looking to Delfina Delettrez Fendi for inspiration, her unparalleled self-expression, and subversive style form the foundation of this collection. Playing with the notion of a binary, this AW23 collection contains multitudes. From the elevation of deconstruction, and the interpolation gendered archetypes, to uncanny ‘ladylike’ sophistication — this collection subverts what is means to self-express.

As for FENDI FW23’s menswear, it was a harmonious blend of trend-setting designs, nods to its iconography, and a whole lot of luxury. Hallmarks of the brand, such as double-faced and reversible cashmere, engineered leathers, and jacquard silks made up a bevy of pieces the House dubs “Cozy, sexy, [and] cool.” Indeed it was, as sheer knitwear exposed bare chests underneath, shoulders were left out in the cold on multiple deconstructed singlets, and capes wrapped around the body in a feminine manner, accentuated with the models holding bags under their arms or dragging scarves across the floor.
