Lara Stone in Fendi for Numéro 256 Inspires Clear Thinking on Maria Grazia Chiuri

On the subject of Fendi, with Silvia Venturini Fendi being named honorary president and allowing a new creative director to take the reins of the Fendi luxury brand, AOC assumes that Maria Grazia Chiuri will step into the spotlight as the new creative head of women’s and probably men’s as well.

Balti, now 41, is just so composed, elegant, beautiful and cheerful after being wacked big-time about the fragility of life, that it’s remarkable — and inspiring — to see how she is handling her diagnosis.

In February, the supermodel was a cohost of Italy’s Sanremo Music Festival 2025. “I’m not coming to be a cancer patient,” Balti explained at the press conference ahead of the event. “I don’t want to tell about the pain. I could have been lying in bed feeling sorry for myself, but instead, I want to be a celebration of life tonight.”
