Fendi celebrated 100 years with a grand fashion show that honored its long history and fine craftsmanship. The event took place in the brand’s newly expanded showroom, where guests were welcomed with warmth and elegance. The special moment of opening the show was given to the youngest members of the Fendi family—7-year-old twin boys, Dardo and Tarzio Delettrez Fendi. The twins, who are the fifth generation of the Fendi family, pushed open the big wooden doors to start the event. They wore outfits inspired by an old design created by Karl Lagerfeld, who had led Fendi’s creative team since 1965. After stepping onto the runway, the twins joyfully ran towards their family, making the moment emotional and memorable.

The event was attended by many well-known people, both old and new friends of the brand. Famous model Eva Herzigova walked the runway in a beautiful dress with soft pleats and a bow at the neckline. Australian rapper and songwriter Bang Chan was also present, congratulating Silvia Venturini Fendi backstage. The front row was filled with stars from movies, television, and music, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Matt Bomer, Hailee Steinfeld, Ashley Park, and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. Everyone came to witness this special collection that marked Fendi’s century-long journey.

The Fall-Winter 2025-26 collection paid tribute to Fendi’s rich past, especially its mastery of fur and leather. The first model on the runway wore a stunning fur coat made of shearling, which looked as soft and luxurious as mink or sable. The collection featured elegant coats with wide sleeves and high collars, giving them a timeless charm. Soft knit dresses with curled hemlines added a playful touch. A series of outfits with chevron patterns in leather and knit displayed the skill and detail for which Fendi is known. Knit caps with delicate face coverings gave a royal and stylish look, especially for younger fashion lovers.

The designs had a mix of strong and soft elements. Leather dresses for women were paired with well-fitted leather outfits for men. Some male models wore long fur stoles over their suits, adding a bold and classic feel. The collection also included sheer, lacy layers under men’s structured suits or decorated with sparkling details, blending toughness with elegance.

Fendi’s famous handbags were also a highlight of the show. Alongside the much-loved Peekaboo and Baguette bags, the brand brought back the Spy Bag, now with a twisted handle for a fresh look. Some bags also had large plush dolls hanging from them, adding a fun and lighthearted touch to the collection.

After the show, the Fendi showroom turned into a party space where guests enjoyed tasty finger foods and perfectly cooked pasta. The night ended with exciting performances as reggae star Sean Paul got the crowd dancing. Chinese pop singer Yuqi, who is also a Fendi brand ambassador, joined in, making sure the celebration was lively and unforgettable—just like Fendi’s 100-year history.
