Black and Cream and Very Roman at Fendi Haute Couture Show
The show revisits Lagerfeld’s 1985 museum exhibition and highlights the creative steps behind haute couture, Fendi said.
- On Thursday, newly seated designer Maria Grazia Chiuri debuted her first Fendi couture show in Rome at The National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, presenting a tribute to longtime creative director Karl Lagerfeld.
- Chiuri, who previously headed Dior and worked at Valentino, returned to Fendi last October to lead the house where she began her career under Lagerfeld's mentorship.
- Rejecting the restrictive silhouettes often seen at Paris Couture Week, Chiuri focused on a humanistic approach to dressing, utilizing fluid outerwear and geometric shapes to allow the body to breathe.
- Today, the exhibition "Fendi/Karl Lagerfeld 1985" opens to the public at The National Gallery, highlighting the creative processes behind haute couture garments through historical designs from the house.
- While a 1985 exhibition at the gallery sparked parliamentary debate over fashion's legitimacy as art, the industry now widely celebrates such collaborations, as noted by Fendi honorary president Silvia Venturini Fendi.
