Sharjah24 – Reuters: Designer Kim Jones made his ready-to-wear debut at Rome-based Fendi at Milan Fashion Week on Wedneday (February 24), presenting a neutral-toned autumn/winter line.

Following in the footsteps of late designer Karl Lagerfeld, who collaborated with the brand for 54 years, Jones opened the presentation with a fur coat, a Fendi staple.

Coats, cropped knit tops, high-waisted trousers and pinstripe silk shirt dresses followed. Models wore utilitarian jackets, marbled silk or draped dresses and fringed scarves in pale pink, white, mink, grey and black.

Jones nodded to past creations of the Fendi family, who founded the brand in 1925, and Lagerfeld.

Milan Fashion Week runs until March 1, with brands such as Armani, Prada and Valentino sharing their collections videos on a digital platform instead of hosting live shows because of COVID-19 restrictions.
