We've seen archival moments at Chanel, Maison Margiela's literal show and the now iconic Balenciaga couture show. Keeping up? Good work. Before you settle into the weekend, these are the four fashion moments you need to know from this week.

Fendi launches 2022 Autumn/Winter Ready to Wear collection

If the best way to explore the Fendi archives is through Fendi wardrobes – the words of Artistic Director, Kim Jones – then Autumn/Winter 2022 is a masterclass in refracting iconic Fendi collections through a contemporary sense. Reworking the geometric prints and styling of Spring/Summer 1986 with the diaphanous lightness of Autumn/Winter 2000, the collection is an exploration of strength and softness, acting as a “wardrobe designed for every aspect of a woman’s life, for every generation.” 

Inspired by Delfina Delettrez walking into the Roman headquarters clad in a printedblouse taken from her mother’s wardrobe,  Jones’ exploration of the house’s history resulted in shades of Fendi’s classic utilitarian accents shining through alongside delicate slip dresses, chiffon, cashmere gloves and stock shirting corseted into hyper-feminine forms. Masculine tailoring is found in cropped jackets, and new equilibriums are found.
