Overview

  • LVMH and Fendi confirmed the hire in a company statement and published endorsements from Bernard Arnault and CEO Ramon Ros.
  • Chiuri will present her first Fendi collection, Fall/Winter 2026–27, during Milan Fashion Week in February.
  • The move follows Kim Jones’s 2024 departure, with Silvia Venturini Fendi becoming honorary president and Delfina Delettrez remaining in charge of high jewellery.
  • Some reports say her remit will include womenswear, menswear and couture, a scope not specified in all official communications.
  • AFP places the change within a broader creative reshuffle across European luxury labels, and HSBC estimates Fendi’s annual sales at about €2.33 billion.
