Anna Fendi to Receive Women in Cinema Award at Venice Film Festival
Anna Fendi, the second eldest of the legendary five Fendi sisters, will be honored with the Women in Cinema Award (WiCA) on September 6, 2022, at the Spazio Fondazione Ente dello Spettacolo in the Hotel Excelsior Lido di Venezia during the 79th Venice International Film Festival. The award was created by journalists Angela Prudenzi, Claudia Conte, and Cristina Scognamillo to celebrate women's talent in film and the arts. Fendi's recognition also pays homage to Rome and her family. A stylist and entrepreneur, Fendi is known for her creativity and her long collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld, coordinating Fendi collections for nearly 30 years. The Fendi brand's connection to cinema dates back to 1974, with costumes and accessories featured in films by Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, Sergio Leone, and others. WiCA's all-female academy includes journalists Fulvia Caprara, Paola Casella, and others. Past recipients include Alberta Ferretti, Ludivine Sagnier, and Virginie Efira.
