This picture taken on August 8, 2020 shows a view of the facade of the damaged Sursock Museum in the neighbourhood of Ashrafiyeh in Lebanon's capital Beirut, with empty windows after their stained glass was broken in the aftermath of the massive blast at the port of Beirut which ravaged entire neighbourhoods of the city. - The mansion-turned-museum of Sursock, which only a few months ago was housing a landmark Picasso exhibition, now tells the story of a city's demise. Many of old Beirut's remaining landmarks had already been damaged by 15 years of civil war and decades of government neglect. The August 4 blast finished the job. The chemical disaster, which appears to have been the result of government negligence, was so powerful that it literally redrew Beirut's coastline and skyline.

Story highlights

Gino Coppedè is known for his unconventional aesthetic, mixing architectural conventions

Fourth generation Fendi, Delfina Delettrez's jewelry has been inspired by the architect's mixed-influence, symbolic style

This is taken from episode three of CNN Style TV

Rome, Italy CNN  — 

The Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon… When it comes to iconic architecture, The Eternal City has landmarks in abundance.

But for those in the know, there is much more to Rome’s architectural landscape.

Valentino brings fashion to the opera with a new take on 'La Traviata'

The district of Coppedè is a hidden gem to locals, built by architect Gino Coppedè in the 1920s. The Florentine began working in Rome in 1919 and was known for playing with architectural conventions – mixing art nouveau and art deco, as well as medieval, mannerist and baroque styles.

One of his little-known masterpieces – a fountain in the heart of the district – is a particular source of inspiration for jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez Fendi.

Fourth generation of the Rome-based fashion dynasty, Delletrez briefly studied costume design, then training in couture, before launching her own independent fine jewelry brand in 2007. Known for her surreal aesthetic, her collaborative pieces, hand-made in Italy, grace magazine front covers, and adorn the stars – from Emma Watson to Rihanna.

Total Eclipse: Delfina Delettrez's surrealist fantasies

Speaking to CNN Style’s Derek Blasberg, she explained how Coppede’s work has influenced her: “It’s all hidden symbolism, but with an ironic touch. It’s like mixed fairytales, coming up and creating a whole different parallel universe; so there is gothic, art deco, liberty, the medieval…it’s incredible.”

She’s not the only one who has been struck by Coppede’s work. Director Dario Argento has used the architecture in many of his movies, while it’s rumored the Beatles actually took a bath in the fountain after one of their concerts – “very La Dolce Vita revisted,” jokes Delletrez.

We’re sure the architect, no fan of convention, would have approved.
