At Fendi's autumn winter 24 menswear show in Milan, the fashion house unveiled sneakers and handbags designed by MAD Architects founder Ma Yansong as an "extension of the experience of architecture and the city".
Yansong's debut excursion into fashion design saw the architect develop a range of accessories defined by the same sinuous lines as his buildings.
Ma Yansong has designed a range of shoes and bags for Fendi
His take on Fendi's classic Peekaboo bag features dramatic slashes across the front, inlaid with pieces of varnished aluminium that peek out through the gaps. Aluminium was also used to form the bag's double-curved handle, designed to fit neatly into the palm of a hand.
Matching slip-on trainers feature a curvaceous injection-moulded sole, accented by glossy air bubbles and eyestays. The bags feature varnished aluminium detailing
"It's my first time designing shoes and bags," Yansong told Dezeen. "I'm always interested in designing something closer to the people."
"That's also my understanding of architecture. I think it's always about how people use the space, the feel of the space and about their emotions."
Created under the creative direction of Silvia Venturini Fendi ? Fendi's artistic director of accessories and menswear ? both products are available in either a monochrome black colourway or in metallic grey with bright yellow detailing.
