Fendi presented the shapes of water – a project by Sabine Marcelis and realized by Fendi at the landmark atrium provides the setting for ‘nature in motion’, unveiling 10 fountain-themed art pieces by Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis, each created to honour one of the 10 most iconic symbols of Fendi, a holistic exhibition paying tribute to the beauty of nature from March 27 – April 14.
In conjunction with the exhibition, the fashion house celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Peekaboo bag, and has invited three local designers — award-winning actress and designer Carina Lau, ‘Godfather of Toy Figures’ Michael Lau, and fine jewelry designer and founder of Carnet, Michelle Ong — to transform the signature bag into a unique masterpiece.
Sabine Marcelis dedicated to re-discover one of the elements that Fendi cherishes the most: water. Using water as a design tool, the designer magnifies its delicate beauty by realizing ten fountains inspired by ten of the most iconic Fendi’s symbols.
Silvia Venturini Fendi, the house’s creative director of accessories and menswear, has also designed five limited editions Peekaboo bags featuring a transparent FF logo design in different colors, three of which (blue, orange and purple) are exclusively sold at Landmark. All of them are now on display at Fendi’s Landmark store alongside four previously unveiled designs by American designer Chris Wolston, Japanese designer Kiichiro Ogawa, Chinese Oscar Wang, and Korean Teo Yang. Marcelis’ yellow version, meanwhile, is specially placed on a podium right at the entrance of the show space.
To mark these two very special milestones, Fendi hosted an exclusive cocktail party, inviting A-list guests from across the globe — including American singer Nicole Scherzinger, Taiwanese actor Bolin Chen, Chinese actor Mao Zijun, international fashion influencers Bryan Boy and Yoyo Cao, and more — to a night celebrating the intersection between fashion and art.
