Titled 'Dreams of Past Lives,' the campaign contrasts hyperreal fashion with surreal landscapes, featuring key looks such as a nylon windbreaker with gingham, a laced blouse with a beaded denim skirt, and a crisp white minidress paired with a [bow basket bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendis-summer-2025-campaign).
