Ronnie Fieg Teases Upcoming Collaboration With 'The Godfather'

2020 has just started, but that hasn’t stopped Ronnie Fieg and his KITH brainchild from collaborating left and right. Up next for the fashion retailer is an upcoming capsule spotlighting classic cinema gem The Godfather.

Fieg has been dedicating multiple posts on IG to the film, sharing photos of the Francis F. Coppola masterpiece for days. At first it was unclear if the posts were about Fieg sharing his love of the film, or if a potential project was in the works. Today Fieg confirmed a collab is in the works when he shared a picture of The Godfather‘s marionette strings holding up the KITH logo. The post is then simply captioned, “Kith for The Godfather. Coming soon.”

So far it is unclear what the collaboration will have in store, but fans can expect graphic hoodies, tees and a range of accessory items.

In more fashion news, Virgil Abloh plays with formal wear for Louis Vuitton FW20.

Coppola held improvisational rehearsal sessions that simply consisted of the main cast sitting down in character for a family meal. The actors couldn’t break character, which Coppola saw as a way for the cast to organically establish the family roles seen in the final film. pic.twitter.com/afHKrEa8aU

During his daily walks to the set, Coppola would often see a stray cat, and on the day of shooting the scenes in Vito’s study, Coppola took the cat and told Brando to improvise with it. The cat loved Brando so much that it sat in his lap during takes for the whole day. pic.twitter.com/e8wrnzPQcU

Robert De Niro auditioned for the role of Sonny, but Coppola thought his personality was too violent for the role. De Niro would later appear as the young Vito Corleone in The Godfather: Part II, and win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work. pic.twitter.com/W1XEuxnK2Q
