The neighborhood was brought to life by Craig Robins, who was the designer that brought the Art Deco Historic District of South Beach back to life with his expertise, and he did the same to Miami’s design district, which was initially just several abandoned warehouses.

Design Holding in the first nine months of the year reported pro-forma revenues of 637 million euros, up 16.7 percent compared to the same period in 2021. E-commerce was up 43 percent and retail grew 35 percent, impacted by the opening of new stores, such as the Fendi Casa flagship in Milan, and an improved performance in the U.S. and U.K.

Fendi has been a part of this event, working with established and up and coming designers like Cristina Celestino, Chiara Andreatti, Dimorestudio, Formafantasma, and Peter Mabeo. The Journal also reported that residents in Montreal, where the company has poured $1.5 billion into a mixed-use luxury shopping center called Royalmount, are apprehensive about the development's effect on the city's already established downtown. Burke told The Journal that the company's introduction to the world of real estate was in 2010 when he convinced CEO Bernard Arnault to revitalize the warehouse district in Miami. The company now has multiple sites in other cities internationally, including Paris and Montreal.

The pop-up conceptualizes vintage billboard displays, with ‘Lopez Girls’ showcased in 3D across the structure. The concept comes to life as the illustrations of ‘Lopez Girls’ represent Lopez’s innovative vision on femininity, diversity, inclusivity, and unconventional beauty. Neutral tones pulled from the art works create a clean palette, juxtaposed against the splashes of colorful red, oranges, and yellow hues of the collection. The dedicated 576 square foot FENDI space draws from the vibrant inspiration of the collection, with Antonio Lopez’s graphics emblazoned across the exterior of the metal structure.
