Fendi (Instagram) steps into its centenary year with a collection that pays homage to its past while propelling into the future. Silvia Venturini Fendi takes a deeply personal approach to the Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection, channeling not just the brand’s archives but also her own memories of Fendi’s evolution. The result? A luxurious fusion of classic craftsmanship, contemporary textures, and the effortless sophistication that defines Italian fashion.
Set in the new Spazio Fendi in Milan, the show transports guests to the golden era of Roman glamour. Echoing the historic salons of the Fendi boutique, the space evokes nostalgia with its plush interiors, ornate chandeliers, and haute couture heritage. This setting perfectly complements a collection where timeless elegance meets playful modernity.
Fendi’s signature irony and sensuality take center stage, with silhouettes that challenge conventions. Primal textures create optical illusions—shearlings mimicking fox, sable and mink, sculptural coats cinched with delicate gold belts, and satin skirts cascading in architectural folds. A vibrant palette captures the hues of Rome at dusk, transitioning from deep forest greens and rich chocolates to fiery terracotta and bubblegum pink.
Menswear and womenswear intertwine effortlessly, with tailored blazers, oversized wool coats, and fluid silhouettes that exude confidence. Statement trench coats make a bold return in lambskin and plissé taffeta, while the signature Fendi shearling stole transforms into a striking layering piece.
Fendi’s accessories redefine opulence with a modernist edge. The new Giano bag, a sculptural moon-shaped piece, seamlessly transitions from clutch to shoulder bag. The legendary Spy Bag makes a comeback with a deconstructed twist, while the Peekaboo and Baguette bags are reimagined in tactile shearling and dazzling sequins. For men, sleek duffels and hobo bags in Cuoio Romano showcase Fendi’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
Footwear plays with illusions, featuring trompe l’oeil boots, satin slippers with metallic accents, and rugged shearling desert boots. The jewelry collection by Delfina Delettrez Fendi adds a final touch of decadence, with shimmering snake chain collars and chandelier earrings designed to capture light and movement.
Fendi’s centennial celebration looks back to a storied past while shaping the future of the House. The fusion of legacy and innovation is a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and timeless elegance. With this show, Fendi cements its place as an ever-evolving force in the world of luxury fashion, setting the tone for the next 100 years.
