The utilitarian collection pays homage to the fashion house's atelier and the craftspeople who work behind the scenes.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/nicholas-galitzine-fendi-first-global-menswear-ambassdaor-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fendi Men's</a> Spring/Summer 2024 collection can only be described as quintessential workwear &mdash; in a literal and figurative sense. On Thursday, the Italian fashion house presented the collection in its new Fendi Factory in Capannuccia, where workers were busy toiling away like a typical workday as guests took their seats and waited for the show to begin.&nbsp;
The peculiar location was not chosen out of whim or a chased spectacle but was a rather clever concept that set the tone for the collection in store. As the first look, consisting of a tailored camel-colored coat and matching high-rise trousers, walked down the runway, the inspiration was immediately clear: workwear.&nbsp;
As a label that is well-known for its craftsmanship and leather goods, the collection paid homage to the artisans and businessfolk who work as hidden figures behind the scenes. Workwear-inspired details took center stage, from utility belts to measuring tape fasteners to toolbox-inspired bags. As expected, silhouettes were effectively translated with sharp lines and impeccable tailoring. Leather aprons laid atop <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/button-down-shirt-shopping-wardrobe-essential-basics-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">button-down shirts</a>, tool belts styled into skirts, and A-line coats lined with visibly intricate stitching.

But what was presented down the runway was far more than a fitted utilitarian collection. Providing a fresh and contemporary take was the harmonious blend between workwear and formal attire. The exchange between the two juxtaposed styles was reflected in the slouchy <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/cargo-pants-for-women-to-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cargo pants</a> styled with reinterpreted painter shirts, the polo shirt bodysuits that teasingly reveal a hint of skin as low-rise trousers sit slightly below the waist, and shoulder-baring vest shirts that give a stripped-down tuxedo effect.&nbsp;
The accessories shined in their own respective light, including tool-printed trunks, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fendi-tiffany-and-co-baguette-bag-hand-in-hand-initiative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">baguettes</a> with debossed leather "scales," monogrammed weekenders, and supple woven baskets. As the show closed, bringing it full circle was creative director Silvia Venturini Fendi being joined by a group of craftspeople and factory workers for the final bow.
