In preparation for the Maison’s centennial celebrations, the Fendi Spring 2025 RTW collection draws from the year Fendi was founded –1925.

“The foundations of how women dress today and, in many ways, how we think are in the 1920s. It’s about modernity in style and attitude,” says Kim Jones, Artistic Director of Couture and Womenswear.“1925 has so many milestone moments. It is the founding year of FENDI, but also the year of the Art Deco exhibition in Paris.”

Embroideries are supremely detailed and handmade, yet light and placed on archetypal forms such as the tee and the simple slip in silk and organza. The softest of suedes and shearlings envelop the wearer in robe shapes, while the finest suede croco features in t-shirt silhouettes. Silk tea dresses and swirling dancer’s slips are at once ordinary and extraordinary, often quite literally grounded by boots made in conjunction with Red Wing.

The bags echo the collection in materials, embroideries and unstructured structure, at once seemingly effortless yet achieved with the effort of supreme craftsmanship. Eminently graspable and sensual, iconic constructions are once again softened and celebrated, particularly the Mamma Baguette taller, wider and bigger than its standard incarnation. Here it features as a tribute to Adele Fendi, founder of the house and Silvia Venturini Fendi’s grandmother.
