Discover Silvia Venturini Fendi’s Bold Fashion Show Moments

Silvia Venturini Fendi took the helm of the renowned fashion house, shaping its legacy while honoring the past, present, and future. Inspired by her grandmother and the five Fendi sisters—Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla, and Alda—she connects personal memories, both real and imagined, to create unique creations.

The Fall-Winter 1967-1968 collection marked a pivotal moment in fashion history, with Karl Lagerfeld redefining gender definitions. Decades later, the Maison continues this spirit at Milan Fashion Week, unveiling a runway journey through time that merges retro sensuality with modern sartorial elegance.

At Spazio Fendi Milano, a special venue reminiscent of salons, ateliers, and headquarters, guests entered through gray ushers at the door, as if stepping into a photo album. The invitation, stitched in Cuoio Romano leather, unfolded like an accordion, revealing archive images from 1964 to 1977, alongside portraits of the third-generation designer as a child.

The centenary exercise of Fendi 100 explored the essence of the brand, featuring iconic pieces like the missing coat, dress, and slip, blending lingerie, fur, and lace for a touch of bourgeois charm. This interplay of transparencies and structure symbolized Rome’s desirability, where glamour meets timeless craftsmanship.

Supermodels such as Penelope Tree, Deva Cassel, Adriana Lima, Natasha Poly, Mona Tougaard, Eva Herzigova, Yasmin Le Bon, and Karen Elson brought the collection to life, embodying an infusion of romanticism. Their presence echoed the brand’s commitment to fashion’s evolution, ensuring its anniversary remains a milestone.

Even the logo received a subtle transformation, with the two zeros of the century slanted upside down, forming an infinity symbol. This clever detail reinforced Fendi’s endless influence, while the collection embraced a bold vision for 2025 and 2026, ensuring the fashion house stays at the forefront of style.
