Milan Fashion Week got off to a super start on Wednesday, with Kate Moss, Naomi and Linda Evangelista front row at Fendi. They were joined by a pack of Hollywood stars including Demi Moore, Naomi Watts and Christina Ricci, and turned out in support of their friend, artistic director Kim Jones.

As guests arrived, one thing became clear; this was an offering poised to go big on accessories. On the catwalk itself, six giant sculptures of signature Fendi handbags including the Baguette and the Peekaboo loomed large. They came thick and fast in the collection too, carried by almost every model and spanning mini satchels to maxi totes, masterminded by the brand’s accessories designer Silvia Venturini Fendi. A new style of shopper, coined the Flip, which can be folded into a clutch also showcased Fendi’s skill at delivering a future It-bag.

As for the clothes, Jones cited the Italian capital as a key inspiration. ‘In Rome, there is an elegance in ease and not caring what anybody else thinks – that is real luxury,’ he shared in the show notes. ‘In this collection, I wanted to reflect that. It is about women who dress for themselves and their own lives, I see it with Silvia and Delfina [Delettrez Fendi] all of the time. It’s not about the spectacle of being looked at but the reality of wearing and the confidence and chicness that comes with it. It’s not about being something but being someone.’
Accordingly, stand-out pieces included a twist on the twinset, wet-look leather coats and undone white shirts. And if you haven’t already got the memo yet – ballet flats are sticking around for next season.
