The Devil Is In The Details For Fendi’s 100th Anniversary

What is one method of rephrasing in a simple, flowing manner: How does one honor five generations and a century of design? Silvia Venturini Fendi suggests by focusing on the future. The Fall/Winter 2025 co-ed collection from Fendi showcased an array of faux fur, leather, and appliqué, presenting a vibrant collage of high-fashion finishes.

In a nutshell, Venturini expressed that he preferred not to delve deeply into the physical records. Instead, Fendi 100 holds deep personal significance for him – whether based on actual experiences or imaginative interpretations – regarding what Fendi symbolized in the past and represents today. By preserving the spirit of playfulness without excessive reliance on archive replication, Fendi has paved the way for future generations to continue its legacy.

The show commenced with an exquisitely classic silhouette featuring a fake “mink” coat dress and contrasting satin peep-toe heels. A tribute to precision, a coated chevron dress matched flawlessly with its coordinating bag. Moving through the collection, wool coats were adorned with fluffy baguettes and an unusual beanie-and-netted-fascinator duo, while shoulders were made wider and more prominent on pleated leather and embellished tweed pieces. The iconic baguette design was updated with a fuzzy twist, and the Spy Bag returned for another run, solidifying their status as timeless brand icons.

In a forward-thinking twist on classic Italian tailoring, designers showcased tuxedo lapels that were only partially attached and asymmetrical, along with long fur stoles. These innovative elements brought traditional suiting into a rebellious new era. Unlike the monotonous suits seen in previous seasons, these ensembles featured vivid colors and textures such as canary yellow, orange, lace, and beading. To lighten the mood when a suit seemed too formal, models carried oversized Fendi dolls, playfully poking fun at the iconic figurines and accessories that have become synonymous with the brand.

The event was graced by numerous prominent figures who attended to celebrate the special occasion. Notable personalities such as Karen Elson, Irina Shayk, Alex Consani, and Gabbriette strutted down the runway. Simultaneously, the front row boasted stars like Matt Bomer, Luca Guadagnino, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Sean Paul. To add to the excitement, Sean Paul unexpectedly performed at the post-party.
