Fendi`s Pop-Up Palazzo at Harrods (London)

Last week, a new, colourful pop-up greeted me at Harrods.  It is being hosted by one of the most coveted Italian fashion houses - Fendi. Part of Harrods` ground floor has been turned into a replica of the brand`s headquarters – the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome. Posing with a giant Fendi bag, I am wearing a dress from Chloé and shoes from Vivienne Westwood.

Designed by two artists, Andrea Mancuso and Emilia Serra, this unique retail space brings to life the magnificent archways of the building, complemented by vivid blue sky, and chic, Italian accessories from Fendi.

Here, we can find rare designs, like this fabulous crocodile bag…..

…..but also discover familiar items, like fluffy bag charms…..

........and beautifully embellished masterpieces.

Visitors are invited to take part in a digital competition by putting their artistic flair to test and designing their own 3Baguette bag.

I had fun and used pink and green splashes of colour and – on the other side – light, fatherly strokes in white and orange. Judged by no other than Silvia Venturini Fendi, the winner will come away with a one-off 3Baguette – pictured below - especially created by Silvia Fendi for the Harrods Pop-Up. Cross fingers!

Some items can only be found at this pop-up in Harrods. So if you are after some unique 2Jours or embellished, By The Way pieces in exclusive colour combinations, head to Harrods before the end of this month, as the pop-up will close on 30 August.
