Silvia Venturini Fendi is stepping down as creative director of Fendi, taking on the role of honorary president of the Roman house, which has been in her family for three generations.
Fendi, who has designed men’s and accessories collections for the house since 1994, took over the womenswear lines following the departure of Kim Jones in October last year, steering the house for two seasons in its centennial year. Prior to Jones, Venturini Fendi was second in command to Karl Lagerfeld, the longtime creative director of Fendi's womenswear and couture from 1992 to 2019. After two seasons presiding over all collections, she’s making way for a new creative director.
