The fourth generation of Fendi is interested in insects

As the fourth generation of the Fendi family representatives, Delfina Derichards Fendi (Delfina Delettrez Fendi) into the fashion seems logical.

"I have always believed that the gem has a mysterious and silent magic, deeply to ward off evil characteristics and exciting magic shock. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I lost control of my body. I could only let my stomach grow bigger and bigger, and everything changed. So, I really like the feeling that metals can control me. As early as a layman, I am bound to suffer setbacks. I want to choose a jewel for myself, ruby is my first choice, because I think it suits me very well. I'm very sensitive to color, and the ruby light has a calming effect. I took the ruby to goldsmith, was very clear what you want, but do not know how to make the effect. I was just 18 years old, very young, and coincided with the rebellious period, want is a can remind me of life fragile objects, to be different from the traditional symbol of death, but also remind me not to indulge in the material, but also a powerful symbol of beauty on the show. I want to be in beauty. "

This year is the tenth anniversary of the entry of Delhi, and although her aesthetic ideas have not changed, they have been sublimated and perfected. Now she focuses more on cutting, geometry and reflection of gems. She also likes to make all kinds of stones, but gems are the center of change. Although she may be attracted by exquisite cutting techniques, she does not like the complex shapes, but tends to make pure shapes. In her view, making jewelry should be a process of subtraction rather than addition.

Delhi grew up in Italy and Brazil as a child. The closeness of the two places to the nature made her fascinated by insects, which began with a contradictory mentality, on the one hand, felt terrible, but on the other hand, she could not extricate herself. Because in childhood, all insects were big in her eyes. This strange feeling transformed her fears into deep emotions, and she became a collector of exotic insects and objects. All her "insect Mania" brooches can be found in her collection, which, like precious jewels, are embedded in the resin and made into ornaments. She believes a little, that is, what attracts us most is what we fear most. Her other inspiration was the Japanese horror monster movie, which invaded Tokyo's image in an abstract form into her dream. Her design is so full of twist that she often uses precious baroque pearls, gems, quartz, tourmaline, and ends with a single safety pin.

The insect mania series is exclusively designed for the Dover market, which is on display in a market for one month each time. In 2002, she designed the first insect brooch to overcome their fear of insects, thus gradually attract customers looking for her exclusive customized version, since then, the "insect Mania" Redubujian life and growth in nature. This is the first time she has used this style throughout the series, extending the concept to earrings and necklaces. At the exhibit at the modern museum in Paris, Medusa, Bijoux and Taboos say designers analyze their souls through their own work. Delhi says that every piece of work she designs comes from her own desires or interests. "You can say that my work has the ability to talk to people, and you can find the answers you want from themselves.". "Delhi said.
