“In the language of flowers, the orchid is a symbol of love.” Summer is the season when orchids blossom. Historically, the seventh month of the lunar calendar was known as ‘Orchid Month’, and Chinese Valentine’s Day night was known as the ‘Orchid Night’. It’s a night where brightness meets darkness, where dreams and reality intersect, and about living in the moment, which can also lead to the eternal.
FENDI 2023 Chinese Valentine’s Day Capsule Collection
FENDI presents the 2023 Chinese Valentine’s Day Capsule Collection, with a pure and romantic sky colour palette in celebration of love.
The collection honours Chinese Valentine’s Day in the FENDI way, presenting a colourful limited-edition range for Women and Men, including ready-to-wear, bags, shoes and accessories. As a manifesto of heritage and innovation, creativity and uniqueness, the collection has a joyful and fun attire.
Inspired by a multicoloured FF logo print featured on an archival Baguette bag from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection, the entire Women’s collection conveys a playful attitude through the reinterpretation of this signature pattern. The ready-to-wear offer includes different pieces with a doodle version of the FENDI Mirror logo, printed all-over a twill cropped shirt and matching asymmetrical skirts for an ultra-feminine ensemble. A sketched version of the FF logo is embroidered on a white cotton t-shirt and appears as a maxi print on a light blue sweatshirt with a doodle effect and contrasting sleeves in beige and black.
A special re-edition Baguette, a reinterpretation of the Spring/Summer 2009 one, is crafted in white cotton canvas with multicoloured FF logo embroideries and is available in the Regular and Mini sizes. Each F is different from the other, appearing as if they had been hand-painted, in a celebration of FENDI’s iconic savoir faire and playful spirit.
The multicoloured pattern also dresses a selection of bags, either in embroidered canvas or printed leather, from the iconic Peekaboo ISeeU Petite to signature Mini Sunshine Shopper, Nano Fendigraphy and Mini Mon Tresor. A Nano Baguette charm, a wallet and wallet on chain, a card holder, as well as headband, bucket hat, silk foulard and wrappy, create a matching accessories selection featuring the same colourful pattern.
For Men’s, unexpected reinterpretations of iconic FENDI patterns acquire tones of blue, lilac, pink, orange and yellow in a degrade effect or are coloured in sophisticated navy blue. Disappearing into geometric abstraction, the FENDI Astuccio motif is re-imagined as FENDI Shadow, a larger-than-life logo featured on t-shirts and on a reversible nylon jacket. The FF logo, instead, dresses a short-sleeved shirt, Bermuda shorts and trousers in a blue jacquard version, or is printed on a colourful degrade flowy silk shirt.Soft Trunk Baguette and Camera Case bags, as well as FENDI Match sneakers, are also tinted in the same multicoloured degrade effect overlayed with the iconic FENDI Shadow pattern, for a playful yet sophisticated energy.
