At the tender age of 24,
Delfina Delettrez, a fourth generation daughter of the
Fendi family, is being honoured with an exhibition of her surrealistic jewellery in Florence, as part of the Pitti celebrations.
Curated by
Emanuela Nobile Mino and spanning four rooms of the historical Galleria Antonella Villanova in Palazzo Ricasoli,
Delphinarium (through September 10) features ten of the jeweller’s collections, ranging from the anatomy-heavy Anatomik to the machine-inspired Roll-in-Stones collection. Delettrez’s pieces are nothing if not bold, and the designer draws on the strong women in her lineage (
Silvia Venturini, Fendi’s accessories director, is her mother, while
Adele Fendi, the fashion house’s founder, is her great-grandmother) for inspiration.
Check out a few of the zany setups at the gallery and check out Delettrez’s jewels if you’d like to take a piece home for yourself in the meantime.
