Anna was born in Rome, the second of five Fendi sisters, and is one of the most influential women in the fashion world. For decades she worked closely with Karl La- gerfeld and was development dire- ctor of all “Fendi” collections. Be- fore 16 years, the sisters sold the family firm to the LVMH Group, in the hope that this will secure a better future for their brand. Anna Fendi is 83 years old and is in good health, which is best shown throuht her new projects, but also the way she sits in an ar- mchair. She is perfectly styled and cultivated, with the perfect mood. She tell us that she has devoted herself entirely to the design of in- teriors, glass, ceramics and por- celain, wine...

Every market is interesting, especially if we are talking abo- ut a country where a good sen- se of beauty exists. I have already seen many beautiful restaurants and clubs where my wines could fit perfectly. How do you view today’s interpretation of fashion? My sisters, Karl Lagerfeld and I have worked for years in a labo- ratory of ideas and innovations, constantly exploring our grea- test strengths.

Each of us has our own specific role in the fa- mily company, but when we have to make any kind of decision we always sit together around the ta- ble and discuss it. What kind of wardrobe makes you feel powerful? My favourite colours are black, white and grey. I feel equally ele- gant in a simple dress as I do in an evening gown.
