The Marini’s Group announced its partnership with fashion icon Anna Fendi to exclusively distribute her wine label; AFV in Malaysia yesterday. The exclusive relationship was celebrated with a dinner and wine pairing party hosted by the Marini’s Group at Marini’s on 57. The event was graced by Anna Fendi, dignitaries from the Italian Embassy and the crème de la crème of Malaysian society.
This announcement officially marks Anna Fendi’s expansion into the Asian market. “Today marks a momentous milestone for AFV as we expand our range of wines into Asia. I believe I have found the right partner to work with here in Asia. Modesto Marini has proven his acumen in building brands in Asia, especially here in Malaysia and this will be the perfect platform for us to begin our expansion,” said Anna Fendi.
For four decades, Anna lived and breathed fashion at the helm of Fendi. She was instrumental in the brand’s partnership with Karl Lagerfeld, its expansion beyond Europe, and she was responsible for the creation of Fendi Casa. Though she no longer has an active role in running the show, Anna still makes appearances and attends showings in support of her daughter, Silvia Venturini, the only Fendi still involved in the business and herself the inventor of the famous ‘Baguette’.
