  • Taking over from Karl Lagerfeld, Kim Jones brought British flair and literary chic to an all-virtual Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week
  • Kate Moss’ daughter Lila Grace, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington also walked for LVMH’s Italian luxury brand

Kim Jones’ debut collection for Fendi as a womenswear designer tapped the bohemian, literary world of Virginia Woolf, bringing bookish glamour to his first haute couture runway show, at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week on Wednesday (January 27).

The celebrated British menswear talent, a veteran of Dior and Louis Vuitton, has taken up the mantle of Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019 after more than 50 years at the helm of the Italian brand.

Fendi, part of the vast LVMH group, named Jones as successor last September, in a move expected to inject a strong dose of British cool into the brand known for its Roman flair and unapologetic use of fur.

Wednesday’s show, held live for a virtual-only audience at the Palais Brongniart in Paris, featured supermodel Kate Moss and her daughter Lila Grace.

The A-list line-up also included Demi Moore, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cara Delevingne and Bella Hadid, who sauntered down the elaborate, modern runway, pausing to pose in glassed-in garden enclosures.

The Spring/Summer 2021 collection channelled an early 20th century feel – flowing capes, high collars and elaborate embroidery – with an added modern vibe.
