When it comes to Fendace, there's no such thing as too much. Here is a guide to styling the best accessories from the highly-anticipated collection.
Fendace has been on everyone's lips since its explosive debut at Milan Fashion Week last year. In a historic move, legendary designers Donatella Versace and Kim Jones partnered up to 'swap' their luxury fashion houses in an exciting remix of Versace and Fendi's iconic codes. "Kim is a visionary designer and innovator. To me, Fendace will always mean love," says Donatella Versace, reflecting on the sense of friendship and mutual respect she experienced while designing the collection together.

Fendi recast in the vision of Donatella Versace, as seen on supermodels Naomi Campbell, Adut Akech and Imaan Hammam, is a masterclass in logomania. Bringing her trademark extravagance, she reimagines the Fendi FF logo in a Versace context. An exercise in creativity and innovation, the logo is introduced to the house's emblematic Medusa and reworked into stunning combinations with the decadent Baroque prints and La Greca geometric motifs. This regal opulence of these unique new designs are best seen in the collection's accessories, especially in the Fendace La Medusa handbag.
The Fendace collection invites women to be part of a historic chapter in modern fashion and challenges them to experiment with bolder and more adventurous style.
Below, we provide some sartorial inspiration from the fashion houses' viral campaign and runway show to help you get started on your Fendace journey.
