FENDI FALL 2025 RTW COLLECTION
For Fall, the origin story of Fendi is reflected on a century of the House as an exercise in figuration.
March 4, 2025
The Fendi Fall 2025 RTW collection radiates with ideas of FENDI-ness: where irony and humor mingle with sobriety, and sensuality is instilled with a Roman rigor.
“Fendi reminds me of the future,” she says, as the Maison celebrates this centenary year with great fanfare. “I didn’t want to spend too much time dwelling on the physical archives. For me, Fendi 100 is more about my personal memories – real or imagined – of what Fendi was and what Fendi means today,” said Silvia Venturini Fendi.
Clothes become characters, and characters become their clothes, as the Women’s and Men’s collections are intertwined with sartorial traditions and subversive takes on Italian sophistication.
Intarsia, honeycomb and Gheronato patchwork techniques are applied to shearlings that resemble fox, mink and sable. Marbled plissé and ribbed knit dresses dissolve into curled lettuce hems, eel and lamb leather patchworks flare in A-line chevron skirts, and raw-cut menswear coats cocoon with a hidden martingale to operatic effect. The allure of Roman evenings continues in games of matte and shine. Chantilly lace plays the battle of the sexes encrusted in a cashmere twinset or a man’s pinstripe chemise, whilst a fringe of tulle and fingernail sequins frames a triptych of evening ensembles in a millefoglie of FENDI workmanships: forever opulent, yet light as air.
Throughout, a crescendo of colors incites the shades of Rome at dusk – laurel and forest green, graphite, chocolate and petrol blue – to the blazing hues of its eternal sunsets in cinnamon and terracotta, bubblegum, buttermilk, scarlet and dusty rose.
The Fendi Accessories collection is a kaleidoscope of colors and decadence, revisiting House signatures with a retro-futurist panache. Launched in 2005, the Fendi Spy Bag returns deconstructed with a twisted handle in sorbet tones of shearling, joining the Peekaboo and Baguette as a perpetual House icon. Shearling intarsia, disco sequins and fluted suede techniques re-imagine the Mamma Baguette and Peekaboo Soft spectacular yet tactile designs.
