In September 2020, Kim Jones was named head of Fendi's couture and womenswear, marking a new era for the Italian brand. This publication examines Jones's relationship to the legendary 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.
Enriched by ethereal photographs by Nikolai von Bismarck, this book spotlights the iconic landmarks of the Bloomsbury Set and Fendi. Beginning with Charleston House, Knole House, and Sissinghurst Castle in England, then traveling to the set of haute couture in Paris, the volume comes full circle at Rome's Villa Medici and Villa Borghese—where the histories of Fendi and the Bloomsbury Set meet. Diverse photographic methods such as Polaroid, traditional film, and Super-8 film
stills bring Jones's creations to life, as well as reflect the Bloomsbury Set's experimental techniques, while his eternal muses, including Christy Turlington, Demi Moore, Gwendoline Christie, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell, conjure the poetry of the present. With letters, diary entries, and excerpts from Bloomsbury members, this exquisite book will appeal to aficionados of fashion, literature, and photography.
2020年9月,金·琼斯(Kim Jones)被任命为芬迪高级时装和女装的负责人,标志着这个意大利品牌进入了一个新时代。这个系列灵感来自二十世纪初英国作家、知识分子和艺术家聚集的布鲁姆斯伯里社区,她们包括弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫(Virginia Woolf)、邓肯·格兰特(Duncan Grant)和瓦妮莎·贝尔(Vanessa Bell)。本书研究了琼斯与这个传奇的布鲁姆斯伯里文化圈的关系。
本书以尼古拉·冯·俾斯麦(Nikolai von Bismarck)缥缈的照片为特色,重点介绍了布卢姆斯伯里文化圈和芬迪的标志性地标。从英国的查尔斯顿宫、克诺尔宫和西辛赫斯特城堡开始,到巴黎的高级时装店,最后到罗马的美第奇别墅和博尔赫斯别墅,这里是芬迪和布鲁姆斯伯里文化圈的历史交汇处。不同的摄影方法,如宝丽来、传统胶片和超8毫米胶片,让琼斯的作品栩栩如生,也反映了布鲁姆斯伯里文化圈的实验技术,而他永恒的缪斯女神,包括克里斯蒂·特林顿(Christy Turlington)、黛米·摩尔(Demi Moore)、格温多林·克里斯蒂(Gwendoline Christie)、凯特·莫斯(Kate Moss)和娜奥米·坎贝尔(Naomi Campbell),则勾勒出了现在的诗意。这本精致的书包含信件、日记和布鲁姆斯伯里成员的摘录,将吸引时尚、文学和摄影的爱好者们。
