Karl taught me that time is the best judgement of creativity. I want to make clothes that people wear throughout their lives.
Silvia Venturini Fendi, creative director at Fendi.
Ms. Fendi has worked at her family’s brand for close to 30 years, having designed the 90s iconic Baguette bag. Last year she became creative director at Fendi after the death of Karl Lagerfeld. He had designed for Fendi for more than 50 years. Impressive!
Becoming the creative director for Fendi, taking over for the great Karl Lagerfeld would be like doing a karaoke cover for Aretha!
Sustainability and genius is inherit in Silvia Venturini’s classic line. Bravo!
