South Africans Are Becoming Obsessed with FENDI

The Fendi logo has been unmissable on social media recently. Vintage monogrammed Fendi is in – in a big way. We’ve seen it on celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, Rita Ora and Kylie Jenner. Of course, our favourite model sisters are never far behind and we’ve been loving seeing Gigi and Bella Hadid kitted out in Fendi! The newly awakened obsession with Fendi has lead the fashion house to introduce even more special edition Zucca print collections. However, it is the beloved vintage styles that influencers are reclaiming in fresher ways!

We thought we’d divulge a little more information about the hottest designer brand of the season.

Fendi Background

Fendi was a dream child of Edoardo and Adele Fendi, a couple who opened a namesake leather and fur boutique in Rome, Italy. Karl Lagerfeld joined the brand in 1965 and has been an integral part of the company ever since. In his first year at Fendi, Lagerfeld introduced the all too familiar Jacquard double FF that has become the signature of the brand. Fendi’s Monogram print is made up of the (larger) Zucca or the (smaller) Zucchino print. Fendi is now headed by Silvia Venturini and owned by LVMH. The name Fendi is synonymous with luxury craftsmanship and fine Italian style.
