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
