When it comes to the places that inspire the most in fashion, Studio 54 is definitely one of them.
The legendary club, which only existed for 31 months, was the "magic place" where celebrity worship reached its peak in the 1970s, when disco and pop art were rampant.
As co-founder Steve Rubell once said in an interview, "The key to a good party is a room full of people who are more interesting than you."
Under the strict admission regime that Andy Warhol called "the dictatorship outside the door," the people who frequented Studio 54 were fashionable and interesting, such as Bianca Jagger, Tina Chow, Pat Cleveland, and others. And Antonio Lopez, a fashion illustrator whose creations are inspired by these dancing women.
Antonio Lopez may not be a familiar name, but he caught the attention of the fashion world in the 1960s with his bold and energetic paintings created with his partner Juan Ramos.
He also has a lot of personal relationships with models and designers, and there is a famous story: Lopez not only illustrated Karl Lagerfeld's brand, but also hand-painted a logo for Fendi, which is now in the brand's archive.
It was this special collection logo, along with the artistic paintings created by Antonio Lopez and the free and celebratory atmosphere of Studio 54, that inspired Kim Jones to create her second ready-to-wear collection since taking over Fendi.
"This is my live debut for Fendi. It's a celebration."
Through the mirrored arch, Jones recreates modern images with a modern perspective: girls can finally relax and dress up for a party.
The girls in Studio 54 are radiant and flamboyant, and their diverse and grand feminine appeal is fully displayed through gorgeous fashion.
The glittery gold fringed dress that party girls love, swaying freely with their gait, leaps in dazzling brilliance.
Sparkling champagne gold satin cut with free trousers, silk skirts with pleated necklines and delicate handbags, reminiscent of those Club girls who head off to the party immediately after work.
Fluffy and gorgeous fur coats are also the "secret weapon" for girls to focus their eyes on the crowded dance floor.
In addition to the appearance of a strong presence, the striking colors and patterns are also enough to attract the eye.
Some eye-catching gowns - neon colors from Antonio Lopez's palette, saturated striped fabrics with Fendi logo brushstrokes, are romantic and poetic.
Lace is also a material that enhances the sex appeal of girls. Lopez's figurative paintings are decorated with intricate lace fabrics by Fendi artisans to highlight the advanced texture.
These elaborately embroidered lace make the simple and slim dress full of mystery.
Accessories made from this material, such as stockings and bras, can also add sparkle to an everyday look.
In Antonio Lopez's works, women of different colors, identities and classes dance freely.
This is one of the reasons Kim Jones praised and chose his paintings as inspiration for this season.
In a high-pitched ode to female confidence, he recreated Lopez's vibrant paintings in inlaid leather, soft fur and shimmering jacquard fabrics for Fendi's new collection.
