Fendi's Kim Jones, who took over as artistic director from Karl Lagerfeld, was the centre of attention. Jones kept to the Fendi basics in his first ready-to-wear collection, with "opulent minimalism" that paid tribute to Silvia Venturini Fendi and other women who established and nurtured the Italian fashion house.

Ribbed knit bralettes and tops, leather jumpsuits, satin slacks and off-the-shoulder blouses, fringed sweater shirts, and dramatic shearling and fur coats in monochromatic looks ranging from camel to soft marble shades and absolute black were among the highlights of the show. Embossed Selleria stitching was used on the lapels of some leather coats as a tribute to Fendi's roots.
