Fashion house Fendi announced that Silvia Venturini will take over as honorary president from October 1, leaving behind the creative leadership of the brand.
These were truly exciting years, a journey I also undertook in the name of my grandmother Adele, my mother Anna, and her sisters. My heart goes out to Karl, an extraordinary master who honored me by allowing me to work alongside him, teaching me the art of sharing, a defining quality in the history of the women in my family, while also guiding me to nurture and protect my own creative vision so that I could fly on my own. What a wonderful journey it has been, not only creatively but also from a human perspective: first through my connection with Karl Lagerfeld, then with Kim Jones, and finally, but not least, with my fantastic team, who over the years have become part of my family.

Sources from Milan indicate that former Marni creative director Francesco Risso may be a contender for the position. It is also known that negotiations are underway with Maria Grazia Chiuri, who left her position as artistic director of Dior's women's collections in May, and with Willy Chavarria, who launched his eponymous line in 2015.
Chiuri worked at Fendi before her Valentino tenure and is said to maintain a friendly relationship with Fendi.
