Fendi has joined forces with Bang Chan, the leader of K-pop boy group Stray Kids, for an exclusive music collaboration titled Roman Empire.
Written, composed, and produced by Bang Chan himself, the single captures the spirit of creativity and craftsmanship that both the artist and the Italian maison continue to share.
With this project, Fendi continues to strengthen its ties with the global music scene. Following past collaborations such as FENDIMAN with Jackson Wang in 2018 and FENDI with Song Yuqi in 2025, the brand reinforces its cultural presence through projects that spotlight the creativity of young international talents.
Stray Kids' Bang Chan Unveils His Solo Single, "Roman Empire"
The song’s theme draws inspiration from Fendi’s timeless icons—the Peekaboo bag and the signature double “F” emblem. House ambassador Bang Chan translates these symbols into the language of music with an upbeat, R&B track.
In the accompanying music video, filmed at Fendi’s headquarters in Rome’s Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, Bang Chan brings these symbols to life against the backdrop of the brand’s rich Roman heritage.
The video unfolds as a cinematic narrative tracing his artistic evolution, opening with a stripped-down portrayal of Bang Chan that references his pre-debut days. Styled in pieces from Fendi’s Spring/Summer 2026 Pre-Collection, he transitions through scenes filmed both inside and outside the palazzo, culminating in a striking visual that follows his journey as an artist, from his humble beginnings to global stardom.
“A song about FENDI. It compares love to the eternity and grandeur of the Roman Empire, weaving symbols of the Maison—such as the iconic Peekaboo bag and the signature ‘F’ logo—into the lyrics to reinterpret Rome’s heritage in a modern way,” Bang Chan shared through a press statement.
He described the track’s sound as a mix of “smooth, emotional vocals with dreamy synths, layered over a powerful kick-driven rhythm, creating an R&B/Miami Bass sound.”

On November 4, Fendi will host an exclusive event at Palazzo Fendi Seoul Boutique, featuring a live performance by Bang Chan.
