FENDI

Spring/Summer 2026 by Silvia Venturini Fendi. Keyword: lightness.

From the first hem to the accessory detail, this collection defines a modern sporty-chic that doesn’t want to be ostentatious, but strips away formality to express its own personal story. Here, the idea isn’t to follow a trend, but to build an image that speaks and endures—even romantic, without compromise.

Backstage, Venturini Fendi explains: “I want a sense of lightness and color that blends with a romantic elegance. It’s not a single form, but a fluidity between the everyday and the artisanal. Simple gestures that conceal complexity.”

She’s right: what we see on the runway is a collection that dares with delicacy. The details emerge like confessions: a fur-inlaid flower, a perforated one on a shirt with embroidered petals, perforated shoes—loafers and sneakers. Chiffon ruffles suddenly appear from satin skirts, and the anorak transforms into a metropolitan jacket, sometimes even a skirt. Sheer bomber jackets, organza cargo pants caressed by fur bands: each piece is a dialogue of contrasts.

Women and men travel together in this aesthetic universe: suspenders shift, corsetry and zippers interact between jacket and skirt, colorful tabs adorn like frames. Impressionist flowers appear in layered prints, inlaid or sculpted on fur. And tailoring enters the sporty rhythm: drawstrings, zippers with satin selvedge, cuts that can tighten, widen, or shorten. Every movement becomes a sartorial gesture.

The accessories and staging also speak volumes: Delfina Delettrez’s jewelry powerfully accentuates femininity. The multigenerational casting and Frédéric Sanchez’s soundtrack—a mix of Ornella Vanoni, Patty Pravo, and the voices of Fellini, Mastroianni, and Magnani—make this show an immersive experience.

In short: Venturini Fendi writes an ode to contemporary romanticism, where lightness isn’t absence, but precision, care, and subtraction. A sporty soul, an artisan’s heart, and a poetic vision.
