It was such a pleasure to have my very own private tour to Fendi’s The Whispered Italian Grand Tour Exhibition at The Landmark Atrium last Thursday. Inspired by a book jointly published by Fendi and Electra celebrating Italian craftsmanship and culture, the exhibition brings the volume to life in 9 different craft items.  Not a lot of people know about this, but I spent my first year of university in Florence and of course, walking through this exhibit stirred up memories of my time in Italy.

Every gentleman should own a good umbrella, this Mario Talarico & Co handmade version is a prime example

The stitchwork to these fur handiworks are mind boggling

One of my most vivid memories from Venice, Italian hand-blown Goti glass, this one is from “The City of Glass” Murano

Even the tiramisu has FF logos on it! How thoughtful!

Last but not least, the book that inspired it all – An alphabetically ordered The Whispered Guide of Craftsmanship
