Following the announcement that in July Fendi will stage a couture show in Rome to honour the late Karl Lagerfeld, the Italian fashion house has revealed that it will also pay tribute to the designer with a show in Shanghai. On 31 May, Fendi will, for the first time, show its men’s and women’s collections together on the runway, re-presenting its Autumn/Winter 2019 looks at Shanghai’s Powerlong Museum.

“Fendi has chosen Shanghai and the Powerlong Museum to stage its first ever joint Men and Women collections to honour Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy. Fendi and China have a special relationship, since the show on the Great Wall in 2007, and we are proud to showcase this unique moment in this magic country,” says Fendi Chairman and CEO Serge Brunschwig.

Lagerfeld had been Creative Director of Fendi for 54 years, with his last collection for the fashion house – Autumn/Winter ’19 womenswear – shown in Milan shortly after he passed away earlier this year.
