About Fendi and the Imelda Marcos Shoe Collection
Founded in Rome in 1925, Fendi developed from a family-run leather and fur house into one of Italy’s internationally recognised luxury fashion names. The company became particularly associated with innovative craftsmanship, sophisticated materials and distinctive Italian design.
This ornate Fendi shoe demonstrates the extraordinary level of decoration found within the Imelda Marcos Shoe Collection. Flowers, pearls, beads and embroidery transform the mule from footwear into an intricately worked fashion object. A. J. Green’s oil portrait preserves these details while presenting the shoe as an individual work of art with its own character and history.
Did You Know?
The famous Imelda Marcos shoe collection became one of the most recognisable symbols of luxury, wealth and political power in modern history. Among the collection were shoes from internationally known fashion houses alongside Filipino and other designers.
Fendi itself began not with shoes, but as a Roman leather-goods and fur business established by Adele and Edoardo Fendi. Five daughters subsequently joined the family company, helping develop the house internationally. Its combination of traditional Italian craftsmanship and increasingly adventurous design helped turn the Fendi name into a global luxury brand.
Why Collect This Fendi Print?
This Fendi Imelda Marcos Shoe Print combines several stories within a single image: Italian luxury fashion, elaborate shoe craftsmanship, the extraordinary Imelda Marcos Shoe Collection and the social history that surrounds it.
The black mule is particularly striking because of its richly worked surface, floral motifs, pearls and contrasting green heel. A. J. Green’s portrait isolates the shoe against a dark painterly background, allowing its unusual construction and decoration to become the focus. As wall art, the resulting print is both decorative and thought-provoking—a portrait of an object associated with fashion, glamour, excess, power and history.
