==History== ==History==
===Early years===
Fendi began in ] when Adele Casagrande opened a leather and fur shop in Via del Plebiscito in central Rome. When Adele married Edoardo Fendi in ], they made a decision to change the name to Fendi. The business prospered, and a new shop was opened in Via Piave in ]. By 1946 Paola, 15, the eldest of the couple's five daughters, went to work for the firm, followed by her sisters Carla, Anna, Franca, and Alda.
The house of Fendi was launched in 1925 by Adele and Edoardo Fendi (1904–1954) as a fur and leather shop in Via del Plebiscito, Rome.<ref name="LBM 2012">{{cite book|last=Chevalier|first=Michel|title=Luxury Brand Management|year=2012|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|location=Singapore|isbn=978-1-118-17176-9|page=53 (of 316)|edition=second|author2=Gerald Mazzalovo |chapter=3}}</ref> In 1932 Adele and Edoardo Fendi opened a boutique in via Piave; the shop became a popular destination for tourists in Rome.<ref name = "corriere"></ref>


In 1946, the five sisters Paola, ], Franca, ], and Alda joined the company in its second generation as a family-owned enterprise,<ref name="fragrantica">{{cite web |url=http://www.fragrantica.com/designers/Fendi.html |title=Fendi perfumes and colognes |publisher=Fragrantica.com |access-date=October 24, 2011}}</ref> each owning 20 percent.<ref name="nytimes.com">John Tagliabue (October 13, 1999), '']''.</ref> ] joined Fendi in 1965<ref>{{Cite web|last=Findley|first=Lewis|title=The History of Fendi|url=https://journal.williamgeorge.com/the-history-of-fendi|access-date=2022-02-24|website=journal.williamgeorge.com|language=en}}</ref> and became the ] for the fur and women's ready-to-wear collections (launched in 1977).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/columns/olivia-bergin/TMG8846242/Karl-Lagerfeld-to-launch-new-accessible-line.html |title=Karl Lagerfeld to launch new, accessible line |author=Bergin, Olivia |newspaper=The Telegraph |date=October 24, 2011 |access-date=October 24, 2011 |location=London |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111104011214/http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/columns/olivia-bergin/TMG8846242/Karl-Lagerfeld-to-launch-new-accessible-line.html |archive-date=November 4, 2011 }}</ref>
In 1965 a marriage between the Fendis and German designer ] was sealed, and it proved to be fortuitous for both. Lagerfeld immediately created the inverted FF logo that joined the growing list of international status symbols, and then set about, aided and abetted by the sisters, to revolutionize the treatment of fur and other clothing.


In 1966, Lagerfeld created the company logo,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.mffashion.com/news/backstage/fendi-evolution-mezzo-secolo-di-logomania-201903221205086743 |title=Fendi-evolution, mezzo secolo di logomania |access-date=July 22, 2022 |archive-date=November 24, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221124163754/https://www.mffashion.com/news/backstage/fendi-evolution-mezzo-secolo-di-logomania-201903221205086743 |url-status=dead }}</ref> a double F in a square, which would later be the subject of various reinterpretations. Also in 1966, Fendi presented its first high fashion collection, expanding its interests in the United States and Japan. In 1969, its first commercial line of fur was launched, and in the following years, cosmetics and men's accessories were released. In 1977, Fendi introduced clothing for the first time, its ready-to-wear collection.<ref name = "rewind"></ref>
What had once been a precious but stiff and heavy garment was transformed into a light, soft, easy-to-wear and above all flattering outfit. The team went on to invent new ways of working with fur, tanning, dying, and treating, and took previously unused skins and turned them into fashionable garments. By 1966 Fendi had presented its first couture fur collection, designed by Lagerfeld. It was an immediate success with foreign buyers. ], president of Bloomingdale's, discovered Fendi's leather goods and introduced them to the United States. Other outlets soon followed, and today Fendi is largely represented through high-end department stores.


===1980s–1990s===
In 1969 Fendi presented its first ready-to-wear fur collection at Palazzo Pitti in Florence, bringing continuously evolving techniques and imaginative designs to lower-priced furs without sacrificing quality. When the sisters could not find the fabric clothes they wanted to show under the furs their ready-to-wear line was born, again to great success.
In the 1980s, Fendi expanded its range with perfumes in 1985,<ref name="corriere" /> as well as eyewear, jeans, and home furnishings in 1987.<ref name="wwd.com">Luisa Zargani (October 5, 2021), '']''.</ref>


In 1989, Fendi opened its first United States boutique in New York on 5th Avenue.
The company's accessories are now found on the arm of many stars and signature bags such as the Spy, buckled B-bag, and embellished bucket bag are often in high demand sometimes creating long waiting lists.


In 1994, Lagerfeld launched the Knicoat collection, a line of wool coats and sweaters designed to be worn together.<ref>Sara Gay Forden (25 January 1994), '']''.</ref>
==Fendi lines==

Fendi's newest brand offering a wide variety of home furnishings.
Furniture, sofas, armchairs, poufs, chaise-longues, consoles, day-beds: items of everyday life seen, interpreted, and lived with the typical Fendi style and culture.
Above all this there is one common denominator: the home seen once more as the heart of a lifestyle, small pieces of furniture acting as a support for the most immediate and practical needs and more significant pieces to be personalised according to the taste. Great attention is paid to the past while tending towards the future, with considerable concern for evolution in modern design, which is interpreted, enjoyed and shared in the spirit of today’s culture.
And so we find objects for the home distinguished first of all – as is the entire creation of Fendi - for their fine quality: great care and attention in the choice of fabrics and their combinations, and in the “mix” of materials which creates new forms. All this together with the craftsmanship and attention to detail, the careful working and hand finishing, the personality which is an integral part of Fendi style. And last but not least, that creativity and imaginativeness which come from research and experiment, a mood which extends from fashion to design through the creation of personalised and personalising objects.

Fendi Srl (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfɛndi]) is an Italian luxury fashion house producing fur, ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, fragrances, eyewear, timepieces and accessories. Founded in Rome in 1925 by fashion designers Edoardo Fendi and Adele Casagrande, Fendi is known for its fur, fur accessories, and leather goods. Since 2001, Fendi has been part of the “Fashion & Leather Goods” division of the French group LVMH. Its headquarters are in Rome, in the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana.

History

Early years

The house of Fendi was launched in 1925 by Adele and Edoardo Fendi (1904–1954) as a fur and leather shop in Via del Plebiscito, Rome. In 1932 Adele and Edoardo Fendi opened a boutique in via Piave; the shop became a popular destination for tourists in Rome.

In 1946, the five sisters Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla, and Alda joined the company in its second generation as a family-owned enterprise, each owning 20 percent. Karl Lagerfeld joined Fendi in 1965 and became the creative director for the fur and women's ready-to-wear collections (launched in 1977).

In 1966, Lagerfeld created the company logo, a double F in a square, which would later be the subject of various reinterpretations. Also in 1966, Fendi presented its first high fashion collection, expanding its interests in the United States and Japan. In 1969, its first commercial line of fur was launched, and in the following years, cosmetics and men's accessories were released. In 1977, Fendi introduced clothing for the first time, its ready-to-wear collection.

1980s–1990s

In the 1980s, Fendi expanded its range with perfumes in 1985, as well as eyewear, jeans, and home furnishings in 1987.

In 1989, Fendi opened its first United States boutique in New York on 5th Avenue.

In 1994, Lagerfeld launched the Knicoat collection, a line of wool coats and sweaters designed to be worn together.

Also by 1994, fashion operations were responsible for 90 percent of the firm's total revenue, of which 50 percent came from leather goods and accessories, 20 percent from apparel and 20 percent from furs. That year, Paola Fendi handed over the presidency of the company to her younger sister Carla. Silvia Venturini Fendi, daughter of Anna, also joined the fashion house in 1994 and has since been the artistic director for accessories and co-designer of the women's line alongside Lagerfeld; in 1997 she designed the Baguette Bag, an iconic model that beat all sales and notoriety records.

Sale of controlling share

Fendi was a family-controlled company until 1999, when Prada and LVMH, the world's biggest luxury goods group, joined to buy 51 percent of Fendi for $545 million; competitor Gucci lost out in the bidding process. Under the deal, Prada and LVMH were obligated to acquire any of the 49 percent of Fendi, should the sisters decide to sell. The label lost approximately 20 million euros in 2001 and again in 2002. In 2002, Prada agreed to sell its 25.5 percent stake to LVMH for $265 million. In 2002, LVMH acquired an additional 15.9 percent of the company. Carla Fendi, a member of the founding family, continued to act as chairwoman and a minority owner until 2008.

On 19 October 2007, Fendi chose the Great Wall of China to present its spring-summer collection and with 88 models, the first fashion show there.

In 2009, Silvia Venturini Fendi created the Peekaboo bag, achieving a success comparable to the Baguette Bag.

2010s

In 2015, Fendi celebrated fifty years of business with Karl Lagerfeld and organized its first haute couture fashion show dedicated to furs, Haute Fourrure, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. Later the brand celebrated its 90th anniversary with a fashion show at the Trevi fountain in Rome and planned to move its headquarters to Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, paying 2.8 million euros per annum to occupy the space; Fendi instead opened a hotel and its largest store at the location in 2016.

In 2017, Fendi collaborated with Rimowa on an aluminum multiwheel suitcase. Also in 2017, Fendi released a customization shop in collaboration with e-commerce platform Farfetch for made-to-order handbag designs.

By 2018, Fendi crossed the 1 billion euro ($1.2 billion) threshold in annual sales and had 3,000 employees worldwide, including around 400 in specialist leather and fur ateliers in Italy, and operated a network of 215 stores.

2020s

In September 2020, English designer Kim Jones was announced as artistic director of Fendi's women's collection, formerly occupied by Lagerfeld. Under his leadership, Fendi collaborated on a clothing collections with Kim Kardashian West's shapewear brand Skims (2021), Versace (2022) and Stefano Pilati (2023).

In May 2024, Fendi announced its return to the perfume market with a first collection of seven scents directly inspired by its origins.

In October 2024, LVMH announced the departure of Kim Jones from Fendi. There was no announcement of a successor.

Other activities

Diffusion lines

In 1983, Fendi launched the Fendissime diffusion line of furs, ready-to-wear clothing and handbags, then designed by Silvia, Maria Teresa and Federica Fendi. From 1987 to 1992, Silvia Venturini Fendi served as the label's designer. The Fendissime line closed in 2001.

Other diffusion lines have included Fendi 365, Fendi Country (later Fendi Jeans), and Fendi Maglia knitwear. Through licensing agreements, Gruppo Nadini manufactured and distributed several of these lines.

Fendi Kids

The Fendi Kids label made its debut in Spring/Summer 2011.

Fragrances

All previous Fendi fragrances were removed from the market after the end of the brand's beauty license with Gucci Group's YSL Beauté division in 2005.

In 2007, Fendi introduced its Fendi Palazzo women's fragrance but stopped selling it in 2009 already. In 2010, the brand launched a new fragrance – Fan di Fendi –, the first Fendi scent to be unleashed under LVMH Fragrance Brands, before discontinuing its fragrances in 2015. In 2024, Fendi unveiled a high-end fragrance collection consisting of seven scents.

Eyewear

From 2013 until 2021, the company had a brand licensing agreement with Safilo for the design, production and worldwide distribution of Fendi sunglasses and optical frames.

In 2021, Fendi ended its partnership with Safilo and entered into an agreement with LVMH-owned Thelios to create, produce, and distribute its eyewear collection.

Fendi Casa

Fendi started its first line of home furnishings in 1987. Fendi Casa terminated its collaboration with licensee Luxury Living and instead partnered with Design Holding, jointly controlled by Investindustrial and The Carlyle Group, on creating Fashion Furniture Design (FF Design) to produce and distribute Fendi Casa.

Real estate

In 2016, Fendi collaborated with the interior designer Fanny Haim on the Fendi Château Residences, a 12-story beachfront condo in Surfside designed by the architecture firm Arquitectonica.

Artistic directors

Silvia Venturini Fendi in 2019

After 2019 Karl Lagerfeld's direction (1965–2019), Silvia Venturini Fendi took over both the men's and women's collections.

From September 2020, the women's collection was entrusted to Kim Jones, former stylist for the Dior men's collection, who was appointed artistic director of couture and womenswear. Jones' debut collection was for Fall / Winter 2021/2022. During his tenure at Fendi, he frequently referenced Lagerfeld's ready-to-wear. He left the company in 2024.

Silvia Venturini remains artistic director of accessories and menswear. In 2021 Delfina Delettrez Fendi, Silvia's daughter, was appointed artistic director of jewelry.

Fendi has also dressed Sophia Loren, Diana Ross, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Soraya, and Liza Minnelli.

Philanthropy

Heritage restoration

In 2013, Fendi pledged more than 2 million euros to sponsor projects, including a clean-up of the Quattro Fontane and the restoration of the Trevi Fountain in Rome, and held the company's 90th anniversary show over the fountain using a plexiglas floor.

In 2019, Fendi committed 2.5 million euros to restore the Temple of Venus and Roma, when it held its couture show at the site. By 2021, Fendi completed the temple's restoration.

In December 2023, Fendi joined the restoration of heritage at Villa d'Este. In partnership with the Villas Adriana and d'Este, Fendi announced its new sponsorship project which consisted in the restoration of the grotto of Diana in the gardens of the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, near Rome.

Visual arts

In 2017, Fendi installed Foglie di Pietra , a sculpture by Giuseppe Penone, in Rome's Largo Goldoni and donated to the city; Fendi committed to maintaining and preserving the monument for 30 years. Also in 2017, Fendi sponsored the Italian pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale.

In 2018, Fendi signed a partnership with the Galleria Borghese to support the museum's exhibitions for the following three years.

Other activities

In 2021, Fendi collaborated with a non-profit organization to create a 'charity project' which consisted of designing a kids' unisex T-shirt whose money would be devoted to realize the wishes of kids who suffer from serious sicknesses.

In 2021 and 2022, Fendi collaborated with the Juilliard School on assigning the Fendi Vanguard Award – including a cash prize and a mentorship program – to four out of Julliard's final-year students enrolled in the bachelor's, master's and advanced diploma programs.

Controversy

Fendi sued Burlington in 1986 for selling counterfeit handbags, and filed a new lawsuit in 2006 after concluding the company was violating the injunction. In 2010, a U.S. Magistrate recommended that Burlington pay Fendi just over $5.6 million in damages, attorney's fees and costs to settle a dispute dating to 1986 over the alleged sale of counterfeit Fendi-branded leather goods. Burlington subsequently agreed to pay $10.05 million.

Also in 2010, Fendi reached a $2.5 million settlement with the former parent company of Filene's Basement to resolve counterfeiting claims.
