2. Fendi and Versace Release “Fendace” Collab

The love child of Fendi and Versace has arrived.

After months of increasing anticipation, the Italian labels have finally released Fendace—a collaboration swap that was debuted during Milan Fashion Week back in September. The partnership finds Versace chief creative officer Donatella Versace teaming up with Fendi artistic director Kim Jones to create two separate collections that combine signature elements and time-honored codes from their fashion houses.

Fendace consists of the “Fendi by Versace” range as well as “Versace by Fendi,” the latter of which was a joint effort between Jones and Silvia Venturini Fendi. The collections consist of ready-to-wear pieces, handbags, footwear, and accessories, which are presented in “an exchange of roles and brand codes.” Fendi’s double F logo is paired with Versace’s Baroque print, the Fendi baguette is paired with a Versace Medusa emblem, and a selection of tees and hoodies feature co-branded graphic designs.
