Very last month at couture the English designer Kim Jones evoked a story extended significant to him, cast it with those people he considers good friends and relatives, and articulated it by means of his freshly-assumed part at Fendi. Today that dynamic was neatly flipped. For his very first women’s completely ready-to-don demonstrate Jones delved deep into some of the tales most significant to the Roman house—hat-tipping alongside the way the quite a few people who earlier served shape it—and thus began in earnest the process of incorporating his new voice to that narrative.

Instead of sitting amid the high-vaulted, light-drenched glamour of the Fendi ateliers to talk with Kim Jones about his first collection for the Roman house, we go for a country walk in Sussex on an awfully grey day prior to lockdown, blustery and bleak with thick mists rendering it almost dark in mid-afternoon. We’re a long way from the Italian capital, where scores of seamstresses are in the process of weaving lattices of pearls and ornately embroidering couture gowns for his upcoming debut, but, nonetheless, it soon makes a lovely sort of sense. Jones recently bought a holiday home here, in the quiet village of Rodmell – a stone’s throw from the house where he spent much of his upbringing, and a few doors down from Virginia Woolf’s cottage – and he’s brought me here to give me a tour of his childhood. “As a teenager, I spent a lot of time cycling round all these villages,” he smiles, sidestepping a growling tractor. “This first collection feels almost autobiographical. What I’m referencing feels really personal.”
