Last week, Fendi celebrated the 15th anniversary of its iconic Baguette bag with cocktails in a pop up shop—dubbed Baguettemania—in Los Angeles retailer Maxfield (Tommy Perse acted as co-host). Chaz Bojorquez, Kenny Scharf and Pae White designed one-off Baguettes for a silent auction, Silvia Venturini Fendi signed copies of a book dedicated to the handbag’s milestone and guests like actress Christa B. Allen and Lydia Hearst took turns autographing a giant white sculpture version of the purse.
