35. TOP MODELS ECCEZIONALI<br />

Quando Vogue inviò André Leon Talley e Lord<br />

Snowdon a fare un servizio sulla linea Fendi di<br />

pellicce per 1987, le sorelle Fendi ottennero<br />

l’uso dello splendido cortile seicentesco di<br />

Palazzo Ruspoli come palcoscenico per l’esibizione<br />

dei loro modelli.<br />

Non faceva p<strong>art</strong>e dei loro progetti, però, vedere<br />

le loro pellicce prese in giro in una “sfilata”<br />

di moda improvvisata dallo scrittore e il fotografo<br />

che si presumeva fossero apparsi sulla<br />

scena per celebrare il fascino delle loro creazioni.<br />

All’epoca, però, né le pellicce né la beffa<br />

provocarono qualche reazione da p<strong>art</strong>e degli<br />

animalisti romani.<br />

RARE TOP MODELS<br />

When Vogue sent André Leon Talley and Lord<br />

Snowdon to Rome to cover the Fendi line of fur<br />

coats for 1987, the Fendi sisters obtained the use<br />

of the splendid courtyard of the seventeenthcentury<br />

Ruspoli Palace as a setting for the display<br />

of their models.<br />

It was not in their plans, however, to have their<br />

best numbers spoofed in an extemporaneous<br />

fashion show by the writer and the photographer<br />

who, they assumed, had appeared on the scene to<br />

celebrate the glamour of their creations. Neither<br />

furs nor jokes provoked the reaction of the Roman<br />

animal activists at the time.<br />
