Delfina Delettrez Fendi (born 1987) is an internationally known Italian designer and jeweler based in Rome.
Career
The fourth-generation heiress of the Fendi[1] family, the Italian luxury fashion house, Delettrez founded her own company, Delfina Delettrez, in 2007, with the help of her father, Bernard Delettrez, a well known jewellery maker who gave her his own brand symbol (and the know-how) which was designed by Karl Lagerfeld for him many years before. In the same year, the trendsetting Paris store Colette staged a show of the pieces Delettrez had made for herself.[2] By January 2009, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris had acquired two of her pieces for its permanent collection.[2]
Her works have led to numerous design collaborations with brands such as Kenzo, Miami-based concept store The Webster,[3] Dover Street Market
