Delfina Delettrez Fendi details the very first-ever high-jewelry collection for the Italian house bearing her name.
Paris’s Palais Brongniart on a gleaming July afternoon is busy but not chaotic; organized but not rigid. The palatial neoclassical building, which once housed the Paris Stock Exchange, is being transformed for Fendi’s fall-winter 2022 haute couture show. In the days leading up to it, they’ve been using the space as an office and atelier.
Delfina began designing the collection more than a year ago, in what she describes as an organic evolution of the brand. Jewelry, she says, is becoming more important to Fendi, and these pieces mark “the beginning of a new long chapter” for the house. The collection was made in Paris, and when it debuts at the show, she wants it to speak to the contrast the house is known for. “I would totally imagine this necklace [with] a pair of jeans and a T-shirt,” she says.
Growing up a Fendi was “fantastic,” Delfina says. “You have the pros and the cons, okay? We have to be honest. But [it was] fantastic. We are a very united family.” Every Sunday throughout her childhood and teens, the Fendis would gather for lunch and inevitably “end up talking about work, because this is what happens when you work in the family,” she says. These lunches, she continues, were very democratic. “They weren’t asking us [children] to step out of the room.
It’s a stark contrast to her busy life in Rome, where she’s been privy to the high-energy trappings of luxury fashion since birth. “To me, at the beginning, growing up in my family, my family looked to me very normal,” she says. “I started understanding that there was something extraordinary by looking at my friends’ reactions,” she adds, noting that her playdates often took place at the Fendi studio as opposed to her home.
