Ronnie Fieg Teases KITH x ‘The Godfather’ Collaboration

By Jonathan Sawyer in Movies

Ronnie Fieg has a penchant for turning his childhood obsessions into material objects for fans of the designer and his brand KITH to enjoy. For his latest such project, he is focusing on one of his favorite movies, The Godfather.

Fieg has taken to social media this week to tease a KITH x The Godfather collaboration. He simply posted a photo of a mash-up logo on his Instagram, with the caption: “Kith for The Godfather. Coming soon.”

The designer/shop owner initially hinted at the collab on Twitter with a series of tweets referencing The Godfather film series.

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

It remains to be seen what we can expect from KITH’s The Godfather collaboration, but one thing we do know is that fans are already geeking. Just take a look at the comment section on Fieg’s Instagram post and you’ll see the likes of LeBron James, Kevin Love, Fabolous, Bun B, and others hyping up the collab.
