  • Maria Grazia Chiuri has been appointed Chief Creative Officer of Fendi, marking her return to the Italian fashion house where she began her career over three decades ago as an accessories designer from 1989 to 1999.
  • The announcement by LVMH on October 14, 2025, comes six months after Chiuri departed Dior, where she served as creative director for nine years and was the first woman to hold that position before being succeeded by Jonathan Anderson in May.
  • During her first tenure at Fendi, the 61-year-old Rome native played a pivotal role in creating the iconic Baguette bag alongside Silvia Venturini Fendi, who recently stepped back from creative duties to become honorary president.
  • Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH, praised Chiuri as "one of the greatest creative talents in fashion today" and expressed confidence she will contribute to Fendi's artistic renewal while honoring its heritage.
  • Chiuri will present her first collection for Fall/Winter 2026 during Milan Fashion Week in February 2026, returning to her hometown of Rome where Fendi's headquarters are based.
