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.

Additionally, it will ensure more consistent rules for individuals who live, work or study across the EU-Swiss border. Switzerland will contribute to the development of legislation in the areas covered by the package and will have the opportunity to influence these rules as they are being designed.
“By modernising and deepening our ties across key sectors, from trade and transport to health and energy—we are strengthening legal certainty, fostering innovation and creating new opportunities for our citizens and businesses,” von der Leyen said in a release from the Commission.
The package includes updates to four already existing agreements, which already give Switzerland access to the EU internal market, regarding air transport, land transport, the free movement of persons and mutual recognition of conformity assessment.
New agreements on food safety, electricity, health and Switzerland’s participation in the EU Agency for the Space Programme were signed. A new agreement introduced a permanent and fair financial contribution by Switzerland to economic and social cohesion within the EU.
Apart from a protocol on parliamentary cooperation, the package includes also a joint declaration on the establishment of a high-level dialogue on the broad bilateral package.
