ITALIAN luxury fashion house Fendi is teaming up with London-based accessories brand Chaos for a technology centred jewellery collection. First unveiled during the women’s fall-winter 2020 fashion show last February in Milan, the long-standing relationship between former creative director Karl Lagerfeld and this brand is being continued by Silvia Venturini Fendi.
Chaos was founded by Charlotte Stockdale and Katie Lyall who both have over twenty years of experience in the industry as stylists and fashion directors. In 2016, the pair launched the brand having found that technology has cemented itself as an integral part of our daily lives. Offering customisable leather products to enhance the boring tech look, this brand has taken the industry by storm.
Together, the two brands are redefining what old Hollywood glamour means in today’s modern world. Presenting an array of traditional accessories that both protect and enable easy transportation, the first Fendi x Chaos collection takes inspiration from vintage cigarette cases, gold lighters and evening-wear clutches to present a fusion of hardware with the iconic leather craftsmanship of the Maison.
Engraved metal, satin and leather are merged to transform cases, smartwatches and headphones into accessories that you are proud to wear.

Additionally, the capsule collection allows for the wearer to connect their Fendi pieces, like waist belts, chain lanyards and even their Fendi bag with these new pieces to offer an effortless transition from home to work.

The debut collection is also made up of some fun accessories such as a multifunctional gold and silver pen that functions both on paper and tablets, but can also be worn as an earring. A shot glass attached to a keyring that can be used for your morning vitamin shot or aprés-dinner with some alcohol.
Fun, Fendi and some organised Chaos! What more could you want?
