Kengo Kuma X FENDI
Additionally, as part of the SS24 collection, Silvia Venturini Fendi collaborates with naturalist architect Kengo Kuma to infuse ancient Japanese techniques and raw materials into modern interpretations of the Peekaboo. Invoking the age-old art of papermaking by hand, Kuma has worked with waranshi — a hybrid style of washi paper made from cotton and tree bark fibres — as the principal intervention across his design.
