Discover the exchange 

You may be very curious about this suspicious hashtag right now. It is an exchange of two well-known Italian designer brands. Versace by Fendi and Fendi by Versace. With these two iconic collections, they celebrate the brand's artistic legacy from the perspective of Donatella Versace and Kim Jones. It's not just a collaboration, swapping designers is something completely different. They trusted each other enough to bring their brands together.

Versace x Fendi Collaboration
 

Kim Jones and Donatella Versace

Kim loves Donatella and the idea of ​​doing something together has been around for a while. Kim gave Donatella a call and said, "I'd love to do something with you, but something that's never been done before." There have been many collaborations in the past, but they never completely switched designers. Donatella became the designer of Fendi and Kim the designer of Versace. Donatella took Fendi under her wing and used the brand the way she sees Fendi. The idea was to mix the codes: the FF and the Medusa or the Versace. Remember these two brands are in the same industry (luxury brands): “We just did it as friends and out of respect for each other. It was never meant to be a commercial thing. (I'm not sure we believe this, but hey... Does it even matter?)
 
 

The legendary collection

This unique collection is everything you could have imagined and even more. It is a beautiful blend of the signatures of Fendi and Versace. Jones created 24 looks for Versace. Inspired by the late 90s, his collection combines the Italian brand's signature Greek key motif with Fendi's monogram pattern. The two logos of both brands merge very nicely. We see a lot of punk and rock accents. We also see redesigns from the classic Fendi F monogram with beautiful crystals, which feels youthful and rebellious.

The moment of truth 

September 26, 2021 was the day. On this evening they both showed all the hard work at the end of the Milan Fashion Week. The collection of 25 looks decorated with Versace and Fendi models from past and present. You are probably curious which models have been shining on the catwalk. Among others: Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid, Kristen McMenamy, Amber Valletta, Karen Elson and many more beauties. McMenamy opened the big show, dressed in a classic Versace long black dress, with safety pins on it. McMenamy is better known as the famous face of Versace, if you are a Versace fan, you must have seen her before. The show had a big 'wow effect'. In addition to the breathtaking models, there were also three well-known rappers. Drake, Future and Young Thug performed their latest song with intermittent “Ciao! Donatella!” on the speakers.
