Fashionable bookworms take note: Fendi is releasing a new book to celebrate their 90th anniversary. The 272-page tome, titled Fendi Roma, will take readers on a journey through the Italian house’s rich history, from its humble beginnings as a fur and leather shop to its international status as fashion mainstay. Over 300 illustrations and photos will fill the pages, which will include images of the five Fendi sisters, early sketches from Karl Lagerfeld and snaps from the label’s first campaigns.
Rather than follow the maison’s chronological story, Fendi Roma will be broken down into five chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of the label. Rome: Eternal Inspirations, will focus on the connection between the brand and its native city; Creativity: Experimentation and Innovation, will showcase Fendi’s sartorial conceptions and trends over the years; Femininity: A Fashionable Force, will explain the inspiration and drive of the house; Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, will discuss the evolution of the label, and A Family Affair, will be dedicated to the history of the Fendi family.
Fendi Roma will come in a hardcover black canvas case with a slipcase box. The book will be available at Assouline and select boutiques starting this September.

Fashion is one of those rare things that allows you to say everything without speaking a single word. Designer shoes are just a form of this unspoken sartorial communication, but its one so subtle that only other sneakerheads are likely to pick up on it. And its this understated luxury that makes tennis shoes so appealingat least to us. Over the years with the release of exclusive collaborations, limited-edition lines and one-off collections that sell out in mere minutes, its easy to see how collectors can drop thousands of dollars on sneakers. But there are plenty of designer kicks that cost just as much, if not more, then pre-owned, special-edition Jordans. The only difference is you dont have to spend months on resale sites trying to hunt down your preferred size, color and brand. Here are the most expensive kicks you can still own. None of these bad boys have sold outyet.
