For Spring Summer 26, Silvia Venturini Fendi presented a co-ed collection bursting with colour, softness, and an effortless sense of ease — where everyday pieces are elevated through exquisite craftsmanship. Set against a vibrant, pixelated runway designed by Australian Marc Newson, the collection unfolded like a technicolour daydream, full of movement, playfulness, and light..

“It’s about a relaxed and colourful sense of ease with a romantic elegance,” said Silvia Venturini Fendi. And that’s exactly what came through. The clothes felt effortless, but never simple. There was complexity behind each piece — details you might miss at first glance, but that reveal themselves over time. Familiar shapes — shirts, suiting, trench coats — were pulled apart and put back together in strange and beautiful ways. Boxy jackets were cropped and scrunched. Blouses became sculptural, with organza collars and frilled cuffs. Tiered skirts flared with a fishtail kick. Even the classic button-down shirt showed up as everything from a pleated mini to a tuxedo-style blouse.

Colour played a big role, too. Bright white, soft yellow, turquoise, coral, bubblegum pink. Fendi embraced a full spectrum of pastels, bold hues, and earthy tones, all mixed into one cohesive, joy-filled palette – the colourful embodiment of sunshine after a long winter. Texture was also key to the collection, with transparent organza, crochet polos, silk cable knits, technical fabrics with soft finishes. Everything felt light, layered, and ready to move.

The accessories brought the same sense of fun. The new Fendi Collier bag was slung on models' arms like a beaded bracelet, and features a ruched drawstring pouch on a bauble handle. The updated Hobo came with pom-poms and Selleria stitching. Even the iconic Baguette and Spy bags got a summer update in silk knits, woven leather and transparent floral cages.
