Fendi’s Spring/Summer 2026 show in Milan unfolded like a lucid summer vision inside Marc Newson’s pixelated set. Silvia Venturini Fendi described it as “a relaxed and colourful sense of ease with a romantic elegance,” and the collection followed suit.
Menswear carried the same balance of structure and ease. Sportswear codes met precision tailoring: blazers cut with fluidity, relaxed trousers in crisp cottons, crochet polos, silk twin sets, and organza-collared bombers. Materials shifted constantly, from perforated leather to airy jacquards, with bursts of colour—turquoise, vermillion, and bubblegum—infusing classic silhouettes. Woven and lattice loafers grounded the looks, underscoring the collection’s lightness.
Womenswear moved in parallel—tailoring eased into sportswear, structure softened. Suspenders became buttonhole tabs, corsetry appeared in subtle traces, and seams were reversed. Florals surfaced as guipure daisies, sequined bouquets, and sculpted “sunny side” blooms. Silhouettes kept lightness at their core, featuring balloon hems, cropped blazers, shirt dresses, fishtail skirts, and airy bombers.
Accessories balanced invention with craft: the new Collier pouch with bauble handle, a Selleria Hobo with pom-poms, and house icons—Spy, Peekaboo, and Baguette—transformed with sequins, silk knits, bead cages, and woven leather. The trapezoidal Way bag appeared in suede and calfskin.
Footwear and jewellery extended the narrative. Arco slingbacks balanced on block heels, woven loafers anchored the menswear. Delfina Delettrez Fendi’s jewellery introduced a surreal note with enamel nuggets, filigrane cuffs, and coral-shaped FF earrings.
Frederic Sanchez’s soundtrack pixelated voices from Italian cinema into electronic soundscapes, completing a collection that was fluid, optimistic, and distinctly Fendi.
