About this person
Ferragni launched The Blonde Salad in 2009 with an ex-boyfriend, building enough pull to land collaborations with major houses and a spot on the board of Tod's by 2021. The architecture collapsed in 2023 when Italian authorities fined her €1 million for fraud - she had promoted a Christmas cake as a charity fundraiser while pocketing the revenue. Criminal charges for aggravated fraud followed. She paid €3.4 million in restitution to reduce the charge, but the damage held: Tod's ended her tenure, her husband Fedez filed for separation in 2024, and Italy passed new influencer-fraud legislation that bears her name in everything but the letterhead.
