In a groundbreaking fusion of high fashion, streetwear prowess, and digital innovation, Fendi has joined forces with Hiroshi Fujiwara, the luminary founder of fragment design and the acclaimed “godfather of streetwear.” This dynamic collaboration, recently unveiled, not only solidifies Fujiwara’s position as this year’s Hypebeast100 Hall of Fame honoree but also marks a pivotal moment in the convergence of fashion and pop culture.
The collaboration unfolds into two distinct collections, each brimming with creativity and masterful craftsmanship. The first, an exclusive collaboration between Fendi and fragment design, showcases a captivating array of bags and a limited-edition tee shirt. The second, a three-way partnership that adds an electrifying twist to the mix by incorporating Pokémon, spans bags, apparel, accessories, and collectible digital assets designed for Pokémon GO enthusiasts.
Taking center stage within this triumvirate partnership is Dragonite, the legendary Pokémon, chosen to symbolize the essence of the Year of the Dragon. The collection also features the enchanting Dragonair and Dratini, all artfully displayed through reimagined iterations of Fendi’s iconic FF jacquard logo. The designs, in classic brown and tobacco hues, are punctuated by a vibrant yellow variant, a color palette that breathes life into Fendi’s iconic Peekaboo ISeeU Small and Baguette women’s bags, mini icons, and men’s accessories. Striking yellow contrast zips further accentuate the bold designs of a messenger bag and belt bag.
Beyond the realm of bags, the collaborative collection unfolds into a rich tapestry of small leather goods, key charms, textile accessories, and brass jewelry. Apparel enthusiasts will find themselves captivated by the carefully curated range that reflects the marriage of Fendi’s timeless aesthetic and Pokémon’s playful charm. A testament to Fendi’s unparalleled leather artisanship, a meticulously crafted Dragonite figure emerges as the crown jewel of the collection, demanding over 30 hours of handcrafting—an unequivocal collector’s item.
Adding a digital dimension to this sartorial spectacle, the collaboration introduces a range of cross-branded digital collectibles available exclusively within the Pokémon GO app. These virtual treasures seamlessly bridge the gap between the tangible and the digital, inviting consumers to immerse themselves in a unique and dynamic experience that transcends conventional fashion collaborations.
Scheduled for release on January 4, both the physical and digital collections promise to captivate fashion aficionados and Pokémon enthusiasts alike. However, at the time of writing, prices for these coveted pieces remain shrouded in anticipation, adding an element of mystery and excitement to the impending launch.
Renowned designer Hiroshi Fujiwara, reflecting on the collaboration, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with Fendi, a brand synonymous with tradition and outstanding craftsmanship. Fujiwara’s exclusive capsule with Fendi, intricately woven into the broader Pokémon collaboration, promises a unique fusion of co-branded elements and a color palette that seamlessly ties the two worlds together.
In the ever-evolving landscape of fashion collaborations, the fusion of Fendi, fragment design, and Pokémon stands as a testament to the limitless possibilities that arise when creativity, tradition, and contemporary culture intertwine. As the release date draws near, anticipation builds for a collection that transcends mere fashion, evolving into a cultural phenomenon that celebrates the rich tapestry of streetwear, luxury, and the enduring allure of Pokémon.
