Silvia Venturini Fendi’s inspiration for her collection of a certain Rita Levi-Montalcini. The Italian, who won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Medicine and is now the proud 102 years old embodies exactly the sort of woman who wanted to celebrate the designer in her collection for the summer of 2012. Together with Karl Lagerfeld, Silvia Venturini Fendi has created a somewhat austere, serious collection that plays only to end up in the form of black, transparent dresses with the charms of a woman.
