Fendi
Celebrating the iconic Fendi Peekaboo bag, the label has collaborated with renowned director and long-time friend of the House, Luca Guadagnino. This partnership has resulted in a short film, depicting Adwoa Aboah reincarnated on screen as a superwoman, levitating above Roman rooftops before arriving at Fendi’s Palazzo della Civilta Italiana.
“My mother used to wear Fendi back in the 70s and 80s so the logo, the type of materials, the quality and the design of Fendi have always been part of my imagery,” said the filmmaker. Watch the campaign video here.
