In the year of Fendi&#39;s centenary , the animations of the Japanese character artist Tarout decorate garments and accessories of the men&#39;s collection for spring summer 2025. «In the work for Fendi I was guided by the word “family”. The first idea that came to mind when thinking about the story was an adventure to discover what the double F in the brand&#39;s logo means».

&ldquo;During my first collaboration with Fendi in 2012, I met Silvia Venturini Fendi at the event where my hand-painted version of the Baguette for the fifteenth anniversary and my story &ldquo; Silvia and the Baguette &rdquo; were presented. I perceived a maternal kindness in her, which gave me the strength to face my creative activity with more confidence&rdquo;, says the Japanese artist and illustrator Tarout, who to celebrate the centenary of the Roman Maison returns with a new limited edition cartoon that illustrates four generations of the family with playful scenes set in Palazzo Fendi. The illustrations, which animate the mini volume-album entitled &ldquo;Silvia and The Baguette Illustrated Story - 2025&rdquo;, tell the story of Silvia Venturini Fendi alongside her grandparents and founders of the Maison, Adele and Edoardo Fendi, her daughter Delfina Delettrez Fendi , artistic director of the jewellery store, and her children. All enriched with charms inspired by fruit, toast, onigiri and the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/fendi-peekaboo-soft-small-bag-bag-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peekaboo</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/fendi-mamma-baguette-bag-spring-2025-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Baguette</a> bags. L'OFFICIEL: Your sources of inspiration? TAROUT: When I was younger, characters like Snoopy from Peanuts and Miffy from Dick Bruna accompanied me growing up and I think they had a strong influence on me. Then came Fujiko F. Fujio, with the manga Doraemon, and during my adolescence Akira Toriyama who marked the history of manga with Dragoon Ball. LO: How does your creative process work? T: I first write down on paper what comes to mind and once the idea takes shape, I switch to the Mac to draw. Sometimes I trace lines with the mouse, other times I create shapes by distorting or deforming perfect circles, as if I were modeling clay. I am very meticulous, I take screenshots and look at them after a while to have a clearer vision. In my case, the speed at which I can shape the ideas in my head could not keep up without digital.

LO: How do the characters in your comics come about? T: For my narratives I think of my characters as if they were real. This leads to having a broader vision of their world, like imagining that they have friends so they don't feel lonely or wondering what kind of world they would like to live in. LO: What guided you the most in collaborating with Fendi? T: The word &ldquo;family&rdquo;. The first idea that came to mind when thinking about the story was an adventure to discover what the double F in the Fendi logo means. Friends like Karl Lagerfeld, the future represented by Delfina Delettrez and her children, and above all the family tradition that starts with Adele and Edoardo. Furthermore, I perceived a great love for the city of Rome, closely linked to the history of the maison.

&quot;I didn&#39;t expect my illustrations to be used so boldly! They were printed and embroidered into something brilliant and special.&quot; Tarout

LO: From your point of view, how do your illustrations match with Fendi ready-to-wear and accessories? T: I think they came together in a really unique way. I didn&rsquo;t expect my illustrations to be used so boldly! They were printed vividly on high-quality leather and embroidered with multiple threads, creating something bright and special that I was really excited about when I saw the final result.
