‘It’s important to have fun in life’: Silvia Venturini Fendi on Chaos collaboration

Roman brand turns to the London cult label by Charlotte Stockdale and Katie Lyall

Fendi Chaos collaboration

Silvia Venturini Fendi is a serial collaborator. In the past, Venturini Fendi, whose grandparents Adele and Edoardo established their eponymous business on Rome’s Via del Plebiscito in 1925, signed up London art ceramist John Booth and Italian creative Nico Vascellari to partner on her menswear collections. For Venturini Fendi, Sue Tilley - a confidant of performance artist Leigh Bowery and subject of a Lucian Freud portrait that broke fine art auction records when it was sold by Christie’s in 2008 - finished whimsical watercolours of everyday items, to be printed on clothing and accessories.
