Dedicated to illuminating his process and creative vision, ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty’ will invite the public into Karl’s world and reveal the dualities within his work.

Hired in 1965 by the five Fendi sisters – over five decades Karl transformed the family’s house into a playground of creativity, powered by his extraordinary and boundless imagination. It is that same vision that is celebrated throughout the exhibition, which traces his stylistic vocabulary and explores the unique working methodology that inspired such freedom. FENDI is proud to play a role in revealing that story.
On the occasion of the 2023 Met Gala, FENDI is proud to host a table with Artistic Directors Kim Jones, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Delfina Delettrez Fendi, and Chairman & CEO Serge Brunschwig. FENDI guests include Kate Moss, Lila Grace Moss, Precious Lee, Gwendoline Christie, Christina Ricci, Suki Waterhouse, Robert Pattinson, and FENDI Korean Ambassador Hye Kyo Song.
Additional guests wearing FENDI for the evening include Eva Chen, Elizabeth Shaffer, Willow Bay, Huma Abedin, as well as Pete Davidson in FENDI Men’s.
