Fendi’s 100th-anniversary show was a grand celebration. Silvia Venturini Fendi took us on a journey through time, nostalgia and modernity, all while staying true to the essence of Fendi,
The stage was set to replicate Fendi’s atelier from the 1960s and 1970s. And what a way to open the show—Silvia’s grandchildren, Tazio and Dardo, walked the runway in adorable equestrian outfits, a nod to her own childhood memory of walking for Karl Lagerfeld’s Fendi debut in 1966.
This collection wasn’t about direct references to the archives. Instead, Silvia focused on evoking emotions and adrenaline—what Fendi has always meant to her. The details were rich with meaning. Slouchy knit beanies draped with netting paid tribute to Adele Fendi, who always framed her face with veils. Hair was styled into figure-eight chignons, symbolizing infinity—a perfect representation of the brand’s enduring legacy.
Fendi’s co-ed approach was well-executed, though as expected, the womenswear stole the show. Soft kid mohair knits, embroidered embellishments, and cashmere polos blurred gender lines, while structured coats and layered textures made for a sophisticated yet playful aesthetic. Of course, Fendi’s fur mastery was on full display, but with a modern twist. Instead of traditional fur, Silvia opted for shearling, creating coats that mimicked mink, fox, and sable. Detachable shearling stoles draped over dresses and suits, adding a touch of old-world glam without feeling outdated.
Silvia’s nods to different eras—the ‘20s, ‘50s, ‘70s, and ‘80s—felt seamless, not forced. She summarised it best: “When something is beautiful, it’s beautiful always.” With this collection, she didn’t just pay homage to the past; she set the stage for the future. If Tazio and Dardo felt even a fraction of the magic their grandmother experienced in 1966, the Fendi legacy is in very safe hands.
A century down, and Fendi shows no signs of slowing.
