When it comes to inspiring the most inspiration in the fashion world, Studio 54 is definitely one of them. The legendary club, which only existed for 31 months, was the "magic land" that pushed celebrity worship to the pinnacle of celebrity worship in the 70s, which was filled with disco and pop art. Steve Rubell, one of the founders, once said in an interview: "The key to a great party is to bring together a room full of people who are more interesting than you. ”
Under the strict admission system that Andy Warhol calls "dictatorship outside the door", people who can frequently enter and exit Studio 54 are fashionable and interesting, such as Bianca Jagger, Tina Chow, Pat Cleveland, etc., as well as fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, who is inspired by these dancing women. The name Antonio Lopez may be unfamiliar to everyone, but in the 1960s, the bold and energetic paintings he created with his partner Juan Ramos attracted the attention of the fashion world. VOGUE has invited Lopez to create many fashion illustrations.
He also had personal relationships with many models and designers, and Lopez is famous for his illustrations of karl Lagerfeld's brand, but also a hand-drawn logo for Fendi, which is now in the brand archive.

The "Fendi" logo motif on the fabric of Fendi's Spring/Summer 2022 womenswear collection
It was this particular collection of logos, along with those artistic paintings created by Antonio Lopez, and the free-spirited atmosphere of Studio 54 that inspired Kim Jones to create his second ready-to-wear collection after joining Fendi. "This is my live debut for Fendi, it's a celebration." Weaving through the mirrored arches, between light and dark, Jones recreates the modern image with a modern perspective: the girls can finally relax and dress up for the meeting.
The girls in studio 54 clubs are radiant and flaunted, and their diverse and grand feminine charm is displayed through gorgeous fashion. The party girls' beloved glittering fringed skirts sway freely with a dazzling brilliance.
The shimmering champagne-gold satin cuts of loose pants, pleated silk skirts at the neckline and delicate handbags are reminiscent of the Club girls who rush to the party immediately after work.
Fluffy and gorgeous fur coats are also the "secret weapon" for girls to focus their eyes on the crowded dance floor. In addition to the appearance of a strong sense of presence, the outstanding colors and patterns are also enough to attract the eye.
Some of the brightest dresses – neon colours derived from Antonio Lopez's palette – are romantic and poetic with Fendi logo brushstrokes on saturated striped fabrics.
Lace is also a material that enhances the sexy charm of girls, and Lopez's figurative paintings are decorated on the intricate lace fabric by fendi craftsmen through the skillful hands of Fendi craftsmen, highlighting the high quality.
These elaborately embroidered laces make the simple slim dress full of mystery. Accessories made from this material, such as stockings and bras, can also add highlights to everyday looks.
In Antonio Lopez's pen, women of different skin colors, identities, and classes dance freely. That's one of the reasons Kim Jones praised and chose his paintings as inspiration for this season. Celebrating women's self-confidence in a high-profile voice, he recreates Lopez's vibrant paintings in the new season of Fendi's fashion with intarsia leather, soft fur and shimmering jacquard fabrics.
On the gorgeous dress dress, Lopez's female illustration "meets" Kim Jones's creative aura. Zooming in closer, the light and dark details on the painting are achieved by the sparseness of the glittering silver weaving thread, interwoven with italic "Fendi" patterns; the Baguette bag in the model's hand resembles a rainbow tapestry.
Lopez's beloved red Azu flowers form the prototype for enamel hair accessories, as well as striking and modern accessories, creating an intoxicating style and tropical style through plexiglass and degraded metal.
The luxurious fur coat, under close inspection is the female face in Lopez's hand, and the red lips are very eye-catching.
Or with short piled fur panels, the neat and slim silhouette can highlight the slim figure of women. Pair it with spilled wide-leg pants to step straight into the workplace.
Kim Jones also took the iconic visions from his paintings and refilled them with innovations, covering them with fitted knitwear, intarsia leather coats and leather boots to give them a touch of artistry.
The simple and condensed black brushstrokes are displayed on the pure white cloth, and the silver weave and ink-like coffee color blend detail add a bit of agility to the fashion. Grab a Fendi First leather handbag and you'll be ready for an appointment.
"The women in Lopez's brushes, as well as the Fendi women, are empowered." In Kim Jones's view, whether it is the diversity expressed in Antonio Lopez's paintings or the Fendi fashion he creates, they are aimed at women of all generations and styles, suitable for anyone who wants to gain high self-confidence.
That's why Jones also prepared some workplace-friendly daywear for these dashing girls, including a cropped waist coat, a blazer, neat wide-leg pants and a diagonal pencil skirt. It is mainly white and looks very temperamental.
The new ring handbag can be carried on the shoulder, the classic Peekaboo handbag is still eye-catching with the "new outfit", especially suitable for urban professionals, and the large Sunshine tote bag has a delicate double F texture, combined with artistic illustrations, the fashion is doubled.
Transition to a range of light grey suits, similar tailored coats paired with minimalist pants, and a double F-silver buckle that ties the waist.
In addition to expressing calmness and rationality, gray can also show lightness and vitality. Kim Jones creates a pretty dress in micro-glitter knit, and the super-short top and sheer umbrella skirt create a spring romance.
The charm of Fendi girls stems from their exaltation and self-confidence. This time, VOGUE specially invited eight stars, including models Tang He and Gu Xue, actors Jiang Zhenyu, Kong Xue'er, Li Yitong, Ji Ke Junyi, as well as brand ambassadors Tang Yixin and Song Zu'er, to recreate the female light of the disco era in the setting of the Shining Club. Let's see what fashionables they share? The Peekaboo handbag, painted with antonio Lopez's modern illustrations, is the signature piece of the hand, while the silver handbag in Jiang Zhenyu's hand is a bit special, flashing like a disco ball with a dazzling silver glow, echoing the light gold dress, vividly interpreting the theme atmosphere inspired by Studio 54.
