Curated by Emanuela Nobile Mino, an art historian and critic active both in Italy and internationally, this exhibition marks its world premiere in Japan.FENDI: Another Art, A Journey of Creation and InnovationThe venue is broadly divided into three spaces.

The first room serves as an introductory space, allowing visitors to experience visually and tactilely the evolution of Fendi from the mid-1960s to the present. Next, an exhibition room displays iconic bags such as the 'Baguette' and 'Peekaboo,' along with 24 representative fur pieces and sketches from the archives, dating from the 1970s to the current year. Finally, there is a fur atelier where Fendi artisans conduct live demonstrations, offering a glimpse into the magic behind the creation and production of the exhibited garments.

The exhibition "FENDI - UN ART AUTRE, Another Kind of Art, Creation and Innovation in Craftsmanship" runs until April 29th (Monday, holiday). We invite you to step into this special space and experience Fendi's philosophy with all your senses.
