The Fendi Set: From Bloomsbury to Borghese

In September 2020, Kim Jones became head of Fendi's couture and womenswear, prompting a fresh start for the Italian brand. This publication takes a look over Jones's relationship to the iconic Bloomsbury Set: the early twentieth-century community of British writers, intellectuals, and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell, who inspired the collection and his creative process.

Detailed with delicate photographs by Nikolai von Bismarck, this book highlights the legendary landmarks of the Bloomsbury Set and Fendi. Polaroids, traditional film, and Super-8 film stills capture Jones's creations, as well as showcase the Bloomsbury Set's differential techniques. His muses, including Christy Turlington, Demi Moore, Gwendoline Christie, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell are presented. With letters, diary entries, and excerpts from Bloomsbury members, this exceptional book will appeal to fashion, literature, and photography connoisseurs.
