One of the highlights of haute couture week, it featured dreamlike silhouettes with Demi Moore, Lila and Kate Moss in tow 

Kim Jones&rsquo; debut for Fendi&rsquo;s Spring/Summer 2021 collection was certainly going to be a collection to remember. But it was his unique fusion of influences &mdash; the renegade British sensibility of the Bloomsbury Group and&nbsp;a homage to the rich Roman heritage of the maison,&nbsp;combined with&nbsp;a roster of some of the biggest names in fashion, that has certainly left its mark on our consciousness.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/top-moments-from-rihanna-s-savage-x-fenty-sophomore-fashion-show">Demi Moore</a> opened the show in a structured black suit, and was soon followed by Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Adwoa Aboah, Christy Turlington, Bella Hadid and <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/miu-miu-infuses-sophistication-into-sports-and-vice-versa-for-spring-summer-2021">Lila Grace Moss</a> - Kate&#39;s daughter, and finally, Naomi Campbell closing the show. Held at the Palais Brongniart, the models glided amidst a maze-like assembly of gardens and library shelves.

Under his new role as artistic director of womenswear for the Rome-based brand, Jones presented a remarkable debut that highlighted the impact that beautiful clothes can still carry, in a time of athleisure and WFM outfits. Gilded gowns, sheer skirts, exaggerated bell-sleeves and over the top Victorian chandelier earrings harkened to a time of old world beauty, decadence, and elegance.

Virginia Woolf comes as a&nbsp;strong influence in the Fendi Haute Couture dreamscape, a nod to Jones&#39; personal biography. Having grown up a short distance from Woolf&#39;s home, Monk&#39;s House, to after-school trips to sketch from the frescos and furnishings of Charleston Farmhouse, the spirit of Bloomsbury was omniscient throughout his formative years, and evolved into a fixation on the creative set, guiding his direction for the collection. For instance, Woolf&#39;s Orlando, which played along the themes of gender constructs,&nbsp; were reflected in the numerous flowing, gender-neutral designs.

&quot;Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world&rsquo;s view of us,&quot; began the collection notes from a quote from Woolf. Indeed, a pertinent reminder&nbsp;of the impact clothes can have when they are done well.
