Here, of course, only the who-is-who of Hollywood stands for the brand in front of the camera. Here you can see what makes up the Fendi campaigns and what visions Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venutirini Fendi have for the future of the brand.
Fendi: Italian fashion label defines the “Haute Fourrure
Fendi was founded in Rome in 1918 as an Italian luxury label. At that time it focused mainly on the distribution of furs and leather goods. The first fashion show took place a few years later in 1932. The family business, which had been run by founder Adele Casagrande and her husband, the Italian Edoardo Fendi, was finally divided up between the 5 daughters Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla and Alda in 1964. In 1965 they employed the German designer Karl Lagerfeld, who worked there as Creative Director until his death in 2019.
