Beauty lining beautiful clothes, only the second season of couture, Kim Jones's fendi couture is already sharp.
Source of inspiration
If Kim Jones' first haute couture collection was from England to Rome, the Fall/Winter 2021 haute couture collection is based in Rome, the "Eternal City", the metropolis that Roman director Pier Paolo Pasolini has been exploring in poetic footage. "What's fascinating about Rome is its long history — I was inspired by Pasolini's worldview and I was drawn to him," Jones explains, "in the history of Rome he was like an outsider, but his insights have influenced me to this day." ”
Pierre Paul Pasolini
Director of "Theorem"
The life of the Italian director, screenwriter and actor Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) was intense. His father, Carlo, was a fascist officer from a small aristocratic family and was obsessed with power, while his mother, Suzanne, from a peasant family, was a staunch anti-Nazi.
Growing up in a family of tension and conflict, Pasolini became a secondary school teacher after graduation, and after being expelled, moved to Rome and began publishing poetry and film. His death is even more legendary, and on November 2, 1975, the 53-year-old Pasolini was found lying on a deserted beach outside Rome, beaten to the point of disfigurement by a stick...
"I realized that life was terrible
Stained with fragrant seeds of resistance.
The blades were calm in the early morning."
—Pierre Paul Pasolini, "Victory"
Movies are like mirrors of life, and Pasolini's inner world is magnificent, sometimes blue sea and sky, sometimes muddy. Many people also want to peek into the privacy of his films, and his famous works are known as the "Trilogy of Life", "Ten Days", "Canterbury Stories" and "One Thousand and One Nights". The first two are adapted from Renaissance folk works that tell the story of confrontation with the old-fashioned church; the latter is adapted from familiar Arabic mythology and is full of praise for life and love. The series was released in the 1960s and 1970s, with Decameron nominated for the Golden Bear (Berlin International Film Festival) and the Jury Special Prize, and One Thousand and One Nights nominated for the Palme d'Or (Cannes International Film Festival) and the Grand Jury Prize.
Medea (1969)
And to say that the work of the gods in the hearts of fans is "120 Days of Sodom", which was released after Pasolini's death, which has the world's top ten forbidden film gimmicks. A group of fascists rounded up 9 adolescent boys and girls and tortured them physically, mentally and sexually for 120 days. Power is great enough to distort others and free oneself.

Italian 1975 Directed by Pierre Paolo Pasolini
Through Pasolini's lens, many people will feel a cold, suffocating, lifeless sense of oppression. Federico Fellini once said of him:
"Pasolini has a traumatized tenderness: the mysterious and secret power in him — just like Kafka in my mind."
"Now we live in this reality, a very cold reality, but we have to adjust ourselves. Our memories have always been bad. We are confronted with what is happening today: the repression caused by patience is the cruelest of all repressions. ”
This good vision also continued into Pasolini's life. His home is located in a villa in the circe national park in the center of Rome's national coast, which, unlike most crowded Italian beaches, is relatively desolate and quiet because of its connection to a nature reserve. In recent years, although he has been gradually renovated by his family, he can still feel that under Pasolini's warm and open expression, his heart is so quiet, or lonely.
Runway space
Throughout, Pasolini has embraced the integration of Roman history with contemporary contexts to reflect his view of current realities. Fendi's Fall/Winter 2021 haute couture collection has a deep meaning, and the appearance and fabrics presented create an infinite illusion, and filmmaker luca Guadagnino, director of "Call Me by Your Name", directed the show through his understanding of Pasolini. "I've always loved Luca's work, and he's been like Pasolini, touching on themes that fit the moment," Jones says. "The way historians look at history is always direct," Guadagnino explains, "but film masters and film poets like Pasolini look straight at history and sublimate it." With this sublimation, history will project an urgent and delicate reality of the present... The past blends into the present, breathing with us.".
Accompanied by the spiritual and mysterious music of neoclassical composer Max Richter's classic "Sarajevo", the model slowly appears in this "three-dimensional" runway with a calm temperament, moving into the scenery, between classical and avant-garde, literature and music, figurative and abstract, dark and light, Rome's long history and beauty are presented in front of the eyes, history projects an urgent and subtle current reality, and the past is integrated into the present...
Straight on the runway
Fine crystal beads adorn the skirt, hand-carved jewelry embedded in the texture... Everywhere stands up to amplification, fendi's AW21 Haute Couture collection is a glamorous craftsman's artisan aesthetic.
The art of flowers
The first set of appearances is breath-taking, and the tulle decorated with three-dimensional flowers is covered with a skirt that seems to be carved from ice, elegant and dreamy.
The flowers have a purer expression in the fendi couture hands, and the lines that grow freely on the couture dress seem to blend in with the cut of the dress itself, finding the perfect balance between the hard marble texture and the soft lines.

Sculptural sense
Italian flair gets another expression in kim jones' hands. He did not choose to interpret Italian enthusiasm in a bold way, but used rigorous and restrained sculptures to reflect the opposition between softness and hardness.
The charm of italian stone is classic through clever use. The decorative arts made by the pietra dura gem-setting process are reproduced by soft leather inlays, capturing the ethereal illusion of Bernini sculpture. Hand-carved jewelry in Italian marble ripples with the rhythm, as if frozen by time.
Flowing beauty
Next, we come to the high-end climax. After suppressing the restrained emotions, the glittering and beautiful costumes are still on the runway in a low-key posture at first, and the marble texture swings with the curves and becomes soft and moving.
This calmness and self-sufficiency is broken by the vigorous, tense feathers. The feathers gradually unfold on the body in a huge form until they bloom completely without reservation.
The arch where the statue is located is transformed into a heel
Reviving the Roman statues around the fendi palazzo, the trompe l'oeil silk recreates the draped texture of the marble statues, the powerful silhouette transforms into a series of delicate lace miniskirts, and the intricate embroidery reproduces the classic spiral ornament.
Quiet but not bland
Eventually, the hustle and bustle is drowned out by the night, and in this night, something seems to be surging in the dark tide.
The most direct embodiment of the overlapping sense of time is to give antique clothes a new life, and the original fur and fabric are replaced by ethereal silk jacquard reproduction.
Crystal beads are sewn onto fabrics using cornely stitching techniques, bringing the poetry of the past to life today.
Runway models of different ages and personal styles are in the cultural controversy of ancient Rome. "At that time, Rome was the center of the world," jones said, "and I wanted to include all those who had and are inhabiting Rome." Here, Fendi once again demonstrates the spirit of "visiting Rome's past and looking forward to Rome's future".
