New York Groove: Haute Living’s Exclusive Editorial Featuring The Fendi Resort 2023 Collection

The Fendi Baguette transcends a handbag; it evokes emotion and symbolizes moments in time. This year for the Resort 2023 collection, Fendi celebrates the 25th anniversary of the iconic handbag designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997 and the innate joy it carries. “I didn’t want to do a traditional ‘collection’ for the anniversary,” admits Kim Jones, Fendi’s artistic director of womenswear. “Rather, it’s a celebration of a time, of the moment the Baguette became famous. I relate that time to a sense of freedom in excess and fun — both qualities the Baguette possesses.” Complemented by ready-to-wear that is designed in a vibrant color palette and mixed with utilitarian silhouettes, the Baguette comes to life in the electric streets of New York, the city where the bag found its groove.
