<p data-start="117" data-end="567">A historic chapter closes and another begins at <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/fendi-spring-summer-2026-milan-fashion-week-runway-looks-celebrities-stray-kids-bang-chan" title="Fendi's Spring/Summer 2026 Collection Blends Fluidity and Sporty Spirit in Milan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fendi</a>. After more than thirty years defining the aesthetic of the Roman maison, Silvia Venturini Fendi is handing over the creative reins to Maria Grazia Chiuri&mdash;marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of the house founded in 1925. While Venturini <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/kim-jones-leaves-fendi-creative-director" title="Kim Jones Exits Fendi After Four Years Leading Womenswear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fendi</a> will remain as Honorary President, Chiuri&rsquo;s appointment signals both continuity and transformation for one of Italy&rsquo;s most storied luxury brands.</p>
<p data-start="569" data-end="1085">For Maria Grazia Chiuri, this return to Rome is as personal as it is professional. Born in the Eternal City and trained at the Istituto Europeo di Design, she has built her reputation with some of fashion&rsquo;s most prestigious names&mdash;from Valentino to Dior&mdash;leaving a distinctive mark wherever she&rsquo;s gone. Known for her thoughtful blend of poetic vision and political awareness, Chiuri became the first woman to lead design at Dior, championing a form of fashion rooted in craftsmanship, meaning, and modern femininity.</p>
<p data-start="1087" data-end="1525">At <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/fendi-spy-bag-is-back-fashion-news-accessories-handbags-celebrities-y2k-style-yuqi-ren-meguro" title="Back in the Fold: The Fendi Spy Bag is Back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fendi</a>, Chiuri inherits a house steeped in artistry and heritage: a passion for craft, bold silhouettes, sumptuous materials, and an enduring bond with Rome itself. Her mission will be to reinterpret this legacy through her own lens&mdash;balancing the discipline of tailoring with imaginative fluidity. Her debut collection for Fendi, set for Fall/Winter 2026&ndash;27, is expected to unveil this new dialogue between tradition and innovation.</p>
<p data-start="1527" data-end="1959">Silvia Venturini Fendi, the last active member of the founding family, steps back after a career defined by creativity and daring. From establishing Fendissime to shaping menswear and accessories&mdash;and steering the brand through transitional periods&mdash;her influence remains deeply woven into the fabric of the house. Her final collection, celebrated for its freedom and optimism, stands as a fitting close to an extraordinary chapter.</p>
<p data-start="1961" data-end="2325" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">This handover represents more than a change in leadership&mdash;it&rsquo;s a rare alliance between two Roman women whose visions intersect in their respect for heritage and hunger for reinvention. As Fendi enters this new era, Maria Grazia Chiuri is poised to craft a narrative where femininity becomes a declaration, and fashion remains an art firmly anchored in the present.</p>
