Fendi SS26 in Milan Cements Silvia Venturini Fendi’s Unified Maximalist Vision

The family scion marked the centenary with a color-saturated, sporty-craft statement aligned to a new Milan flagship opening.

Overview

  • Silvia Venturini Fendi, sole creative director since last fall, presented a co-ed Spring/Summer 2026 runway at Milan Fashion Week.
  • The collection embraced bold color-blocking, pop florals and playful textures in a clear move away from quiet luxury.
  • Sport and utility codes—drawstrings, zippers, cinched hems and windbreaker shapes—were rendered in silk faille, perforated leather and other refined materials.
  • Signature accessories were reimagined, including Peekaboo bags with hidden sequin or tinsel linings and scrunched leather styles with wooden bead details.
  • A pixelated Marc Newson set, an inclusive cast and a celebrity front row that included Hilary Duff framed the show, as Palazzo Fendi Milano opened and long-term leadership plans remained unannounced.
