Must-See Peekaboo Creations Bursting with Creativity

As part of Fendi's 50th anniversary project in Japan, this initiative features prominent individuals embodying a creative spirit, each crafting a Peekaboo bag with their distinct interpretation.
Responding to the call from Fendi and Tokyo University of the Arts are actress Mao Inoue, fashion icon Anna Dello Russo, contemporary artist Tomoko Konoike, and artist Nikko Takahashi. Additionally, Ryokei Miyata, president of Tokyo University of the Arts and a leading Japanese metal artist, is participating as a special guest.

Anna Dello Russo has created an item inspired by Japanese manga, while Nikko Takahashi, an alumna of the university, has artistically elevated the design using only circles. These exquisite pieces, a fusion of the participants' creativity and Fendi's craftsmanship, are not to be missed.

Bids for these Peekaboo bags can be placed on the dedicated auction page on the official website from April 20 (Monday) to May 20 (Wednesday).
All proceeds will be donated in full to Tokyo University of the Arts to support the development of next-generation talent in art, design, and fashion.

Silvia Fendi, the Creative Director, commented as follows:
"I am thrilled that iconic figures from their respective fields have embraced this project, lending their vision to Fendi's iconic bag. This initiative not only provides Fendi with the opportunity to collaborate with these remarkable individuals but also contributes to supporting promising young talent."

Ryokei Miyata, President of Tokyo University of the Arts, stated, "The donation of proceeds from works created through mutual respect between Fendi and each artist is not merely charity; we believe it is a project uniquely achievable by Tokyo University of the Arts."
