PARIS: Luxury giant LVMH won’t begin looking for an outside designer to succeed the late Karl Lagerfeld at fur-maker Fendi, leaving an executive who’s a member of the brand’s founding family to fill the role for the time being, according to people familiar with the matter.
Silvia Venturini Fendi, a granddaughter of the brand’s founders and its creative director for accessories, menswear, and children, has progressively expanded her role and won confidence in recent years, according to one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public.
