Fendi's NewNew Look Triumphs at Milan Fashion Week 2020

Silvia Venturini Fendi presented the Fendi Autumn/Winter 2020-2021 women's collection at Milan Fashion Week 2020, drawing a parallel to Christian Dior's post-war New Look. The collection, dubbed 'NewNew Look,' celebrates femininity with a palette centered on powder pink, set in a luxurious boudoir with plush sofas and soft carpet. Key materials include cashmere, fur, leather, and lace, with animalier patterns like leopard paisley. The accessories line, created in collaboration with London-based brand Chaos (designed by Charlotte Stockdale and Katie Lyall), features 'technological jewelry' and small leather goods. The show was accompanied by live music from SONOIO, the electronic project of Alessandro Cortini, keyboardist for Nine Inch Nails. The finale showcased models of diverse ages and body types, moving naturally rather than as automatons. The collection includes structured tailoring, military coats, plissé leather skirts, organza blouses, and corset details. The invitation was a small pouch evoking feminine beauty rituals.
