Italy’s Fendi appoints Silvia Venturini Fendi as honorary president
In her new position, Silvia will support the preservation of Fendi’s heritage while promoting the brand’s history, craftsmanship, and expansion into Fendi Casa. Representing the third generation of the Fendi family, she has played a pivotal role since joining in 1992, first working alongside Karl Lagerfeld and later shaping accessories and menswear lines, before leading the women’s division.
Fendi has named Silvia Venturini Fendi as honorary president from October 1, 2025, following her distinguished career leading accessories, menswear, and women’s collections, including the brand’s centennial.
Representing the third Fendi generation, Silvia will focus on preserving heritage, promoting craftsmanship, and supporting Fendi Casa, after shaping the brand since 1992.
“These have been truly exciting years, a journey I have walked also in the name of my grandmother Adele, my mother Anna, and her sisters. My heart turns to Karl, an extraordinary master who granted me the honour of working by his side, teaching me the art of sharing, a defining quality in my family’s history of women, while guiding me to nurture and protect my own creative vision so that I could then fly on my own. What a wonderful journey it has been, not only creatively but also from a human perspective: first through my bond with Karl Lagerfeld, then with Kim Jones and last but not least with my fantastic team, which over the years has become part of my family,” said Silvia Venturini Fendi.
“Since 1992, Silvia has greatly contributed to shape Fendi’s creative direction and has been pivotal to the brand’s international success. Her vision has guided Fendi from its Roman artisanal roots into the future, culminating in the celebration of the House’s 100-year anniversary. I am thrilled to see the new projects that Silvia will lead in her new position, contributing not only to Fendi’s legacy and values but the world of Design and Craftsmanship around the world,” Ramon Ros, chairman and CEO of Fendi said in a LinkedIn post.
A new creative organisation for the House will be announced in due course.

France-based container shipping company CMA CGM recently announced an ‘emergency cost recovery surcharge’ between $45 and $350 per container to be implemented from October 26, saying it was aimed at mitigating the impact of increased operational charges.
The CMA CGM surcharge will be $40 for a 20-foot dry container, $70 for a 40-foot dry container, $105 for a 40-foot high-cube dry container and $145 for a 45-foot high-cube dry container.
For refrigerated containers, the surcharges will be $40 for a 20-foot container, $60 for a 40-foot container, and $90 for a 40-foot high-cube container.
For hazardous goods, the surcharges will be $140 for a 20-foot container, $215 for a 40-foot container, and $305 for a 40-foot high-cube container, domestic media outlets reported.
The Bangladesh Shipping Agents Association (BSAA) recently wrote to the Ministry of Shipping and the Chittagong Port Authority (CPA), urging both to reconsider the newly imposed port tariff and its implementation timeline.
Exporters may not be directly affected by this additional surcharge as foreign buyers usually bear the transportation costs, but importers would be affected directly.

As Victoria Beckham TV show debuts, brand opens Selfridges pop-up, launches Net-A-Porter exclusives
Published
October 9, 2025
Ahead of the release of her new Netflix show this week, Victoria Beckham has opened a pop-up at Selfridges’ Corner Shop, as well as launching an exclusive selection on Net-A-Porter.
The House of VB Selfridges residency runs until November 1 and includes both fashion and beauty.
As is always the case for brands opening pop-ups in this particular piece of prime London real estate, the label has pulled out all the stops with major attention to detail including finishing touches such as the doorbell that plays a message from Beckham, or the specially-installed staircase.
As for the fashion on offer, it’s an exclusive capsule collection dubbed The Dressing Room and featuring pieces the pop star-turned-entrepreneur wears in the Netflix documentary along with other AW25 items. The selection takes in daywear to full-on evening looks as well as footwear and accessories in exclusive-to-Selfridges colourways.
Meanwhile, the pop-up’s beauty offer can be seen in The Powder Room, also with exclusives and experiential features.
Looking at the Net-A-Porter offer, which launches Thursday, the exclusive capsule collection is “a refined edit that embodies the designer’s modern vision of femininity and effortless day-to- night dressing,” we’re told.
Coming on the same day as the documentary launches and just after the Selfridges opening, it’s bound to attract a lot of attention.
The offer comes in a rich palette of earthy browns, lifted with subtle pastel accents, and spans signature silk slips, lace maxis, suede separates and accessories.
