A vibrant Fendi Spring/Summer 2026 show

On Wednesday 24th of September 2025, Silvia Venturini Fendi unveiled a Spring/Summer 2026 collection blending tailoring with sportswear. As a key figure of the Fendi dynasty, she is now at the head of all collections at the Italian house since Kim Jones’s departure in 2024.

In a pixelated set design by renowned Australian designer Marc Newson, guests were treated to a outpouring of colourful silhouettes. At times formal, or casual, belted suit jackets and comfy ensembles intertwined and followed one another.

For this new collection, Fendi pairs cropped Barbie-pink organza bombers with long voluminous coats made in supple leather. There are also sheer sets adorned with yellow flowers, as well as flowing turquoise satin dresses. From jersey to jacquard, crochet and fine lace, the fabrics were chosen with meticulous care. A precious, luxurious charm that runs like a golden thread through the entire collection.

The Fendi show in 3 trends

Lingerie, according to Fendi

For several seasons now, lingerie has been making its way onto runways. At Fendi, for the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the trend takes shape through a multitude of bras and high-waisted panties. These pieces are worn unapologetically under unbuttoned cardigans and sheer dresses with iridescent fabrics. Slip dresses are joining the mix too. Here, Fendi questions women’s intimate sphere with sensual cuts.

The comeback of the Fendi fur

With daisy-shaped, openwork fur on a jacket or panels applied to a tracksuit, Fendi continues to weave the narrative of a century-old heritage. Founded in 1925, the Roman house renowned for its Italian elegance, first made a name for itself with leather goods… And above all with fur, which the brand has endlessly revamped each season.

A trend that had, however, disappeared since Karl Lagerfeld’s passing in 2019. The legendary designer, who served as creative director for 54 years, had made it his mission to modernize fur, turning it into a key feature in his collections. Later banned by many designers due to the ethical debates it raised, fur now seems to be staging a comeback… At least at Fendi.

Revamping iconic handbags

In addition to the Fendi Spy and the Bobo, two iconic handbags have taken center stage at the show. Sometimes transparent or in pale pink fur, at times woven from tiny leather strips, the Peekaboo bag introduced in 2008 left a lasting impression. As for the Baguette bag, it is adorned with oversized beads or crafted in chunky cable-knit. First designed in 1997, this ever-evolving piece remains one of the very first it-bags in the fashion history.
