It’s time to get a little chaotic. Fendi has collaborated with London-based accessories label Chaos for the fall/winter 2020/2021 accessories capsule collection. The collection includes a series of ‘tech jewelry’ pieces that offer a luxurious alternative to everyday accessories. The collection was first unveiled at the Fendi women’s fall/winter 2020/2021 Fashion Show in Milan this past February. The relationship between Fendi and Chaos dates back to when Fendi’s legendary artistic director Karl Lagerfeld (R.I.P.) began a creative relationship between the two fashion brands. Fendi’s artistic director Silvia Venturini Fendi continues on with the brand partnership.

The Fendi x Chaos collaboration reimagines accessories iconic to the era of old Hollywood glamour into the modern world. The collection is a contemporary take on traditional accessories and presents innovative ways to carry and protect them. Irony and humor abound, as no digital or analogue device is left uncovered. The collection is inspired by vintage cigarette cases, gold lighters, and evening clutches, the first Fendi x Chaos designs fuse perforated and engraved metal shapes with Fendi leather craftsmanship, touches of satin, and iconic logo hardware, instantly transforming a smartphone, smartwatch, and wireless earbuds into jewel-like accessories. Each of the tailor-made cases are designed as an interconnected system to clip onto the season’s Fendi waist belts, zipper chain lanyards from the collaboration, or any Fendi handbag. 

Other fantasy items accent this debut collaboration with utilitarian elegance and an inherent sense of fun, elevating everyday items into glamorous glamorous. A multifunction gold and silver scribble pen works on paper and tablets alike or it can be worn as an earring like in the Fendi fall/winter 2020/2021 catwalk looks. A four-piece metal shot glass set is suspended from a molded leather keyring: the perfect novelty to take you from your morning green juice shot to a cheeky after-work tequila. Complementing the traditional clip-on smartphone case in engraved metal, a leather and satin miaduière case features a gold chain handle or it can be paired with a Fendi clipped satin strap and a long, flapped evening purse is crafted in glittering gold mesh chainmail. With no tech left unturned, even the laptop gets the Fendi x Chaos treatment with playful Fendi fur and shearling protective panels. Like instant collectibles, each Fendi x Chaos creation is a playful plug-in designed to be mixed and matched – bringing the Chaos theory of customization into the Fendi universe.
