Fendi celebrates the launch of “The Fendi Set: From Bloomsbury to Borghese”

At its Upper East Side flagship boutique, Fendi hosted an intimate reception and a book signing with Kim Jones OBE, the brand’s artistic director of womenswear and couture, and renowned photographer Nikolai von Bismarck. The photo book, “The Fendi Set: From Bloomsbury to Borghese,” is inspired by Jones’ love for Bloomsbury—a movement named after the Bloomsbury group which included English artists and writers Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry, Clive Bell, and Virginia Woolf as they met in the Bloomsbury district of London in the early/mid-20th century. The tome, which features copies of letters and diary entries from those in the Bloomsbury Group alongside photos taken by von Bismarck, celebrates Jones’ debut year at Fendi and his Spring ’21 Bloomsbury-inspired couture collection for the brand. Jones and von Bismarck were joined by friends of the house, such as Bella Hadid, Ajani Russell, Precious Lee, Lily Allen, Rebecca Dayan, Tommy Dorfman, Meghan Roche, as well as Fe and Paola Fendi of the Fendi family.
