Fendi Men's Fashion Brand

Fendi is an Italian luxury fashion house whose specialities include fur, ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, fragrances, eyewear, timepieces and accessories. Founded in 1925 in Rome, Fendi is renowned for its fur, fur accessories and leather. In a letter of sportswear and basics, Fendi is the luxury summit, and its own ordering says why: fur comes first in the specialities list, and fur, fur accessories and leather are the three things the house is renowned for.

The journey of Fendi began over ninety years ago in a family-run shop on Via del Plebiscito, in the heart of Rome, Italy. The everlasting charm of the Eternal City and the daring creativity of Fendi go hand-in-hand, as both blaze a trail into the future. Rome's history, art, and beauty is intrinsic to Fendi's DNA. The city is therefore not a headquarters address but an ingredient: history, art and beauty, carried in the DNA alongside the daring creativity.

Fur, Leather and the Eight Specialities

Read the specialities list as a wardrobe map. Fur and fur accessories are the renown; ready-to-wear is the clothing body of the men's page; leather goods and shoes are the crafted goods a house renowned for leather naturally extends to; fragrances, eyewear, timepieces and accessories complete the luxury perimeter. For a menswear researcher, the list sorts a Fendi purchase by material before silhouette: is it fur, is it leather, or is it the ready-to-wear that borrows authority from both? The Fendi definition page gives the term itself.

The directory frame around the house is the standard frame of this section, in this page's lists: the Men's Fashion Brands directory and its second and third pages, the wider Fashion Brands directory, Popular Fashion Brands, Fashion Designers, retail and wholesale menswear guides, menswear buyers and men's fashion news. The official Fendi men's site is in References. The gallery below shows two photographs of the house - the fullest photo gallery in this letter, matching the house's place at its head.

Reading This Fendi Record

Read as a buying guide, Fendi gives a man the material test and the city test. The material test comes from the renown: fur, fur accessories and leather are what Fendi is renowned for, so a Fendi piece is judged first on its material and its making, and only then on the wider specialities - ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, fragrances, eyewear, timepieces and accessories. The city test comes from the DNA: Rome's history, art and beauty intrinsic to the house, with daring creativity beside the everlasting charm of the Eternal City. A piece that fails both tests is a logo purchase, not a Fendi purchase.
