Silvia Fenturini Fendi Gives up Creative Control of Family's Fashion House After Centennial Show

On September 29, Fendi announced Silvia Venturini Fendi will become honorary president from October 1, stepping down from her role as creative director.
Earlier this year, Silvia Venturini Fendi led the women’s collections during the house’s centennial and worked alongside Karl Lagerfeld from 1992 to 2019.
Milan-Based sources say Fendi has discussed Maria Grazia Chiuri and Willy Chavarria, naming Francesco Risso as a candidate, while Ramon Ros, chairman and CEO since July 1, praised Venturini Fendi’s influence.
In her new role, Venturini Fendi will focus on heritage and craftsmanship, including Fendi Casa, while the company said a new creative organization will be announced in due time.
The news arrives five days after Fendi delivered its SS26 collection, which paid tribute to the house’s 100-year archive and followed last week’s Spring 2026 show in Milan.
