 FENDI taps French designer Thierry Lasry to design a FENDI eyewear capsule collection that will be launched for the Spring Summer 2015 season.
This creative partnership will perfectly combine vision and creativity of FENDI and Thierry Lasry, who for the first time will collaborate with a luxury House.
“We are very excited of collaborating with Thierry Lasry, one of the most creative and coolest eyewear designer of the moment. With Thierry we share common values, such as savoir faire, innovation, tradition and experimentation, which are at the core of FENDI’s DNA. We are sure this partnership will bring further energy and vibration to our brand”, states Pietro Beccari, Chairman and CEO of FENDI.
“At Safilo, we feel truly inspired to contribute the very best of our longstanding eyewear savoir faire and innovative product expertise to our trendsetting partnership with Fendi”, says Luisa Delgado, CEO of Safilo Group. “The exciting collaboration with Thierry is an exceptional opportunity to further enrich the extremely precious Fendi eyewear collection”.
Over the past couple of years, building on the concept of “futuristic vintage”, fusing vintage inspirations with an updated, modern and avant-gardist touch, Thierry Lasry has created a signature look without the use of any visible logo, maintaining the integrity for creativity.

Fendi sunglasses capsule collection will be designed by Thierry Lasry in collaboration with Safilo, which starting from January 2014 will produce and distribute the luxury House’s eyewear in the world.

FENDI
The house of FENDI was established by Adele and Edoardo Fendi in Rome in 1925 with the opening of the first FENDI boutique– a handbag shop and fur workshop. Soon winning international acclaim, FENDI emerged as a brand renowned for its elegance, craftsmanship, innovation and style. In 1965, the collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld begins and continues today. In 1992 Silvia Venturini Fendi is appointed FENDI’s accessories creative director. In 2000 the LVMH Group acquires FENDI becoming in 2001 its majority shareholder. Today FENDI is synonymous with tradition, experimentation and creativity.
