Fendi F/W 2025.26 Milan

WHY ARE THEY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CREATIVE DIRECTOR?

ARE THEM f*cking DUMB OR WHAT?


show of the season so far. absolutely terrific clothes.
They never needed Kim Jones, it was just a political power trip by the Arnaults, because they bought the company and don't want to let too much control to the founding family.
 
Beautiful collection but the men's looks were unnecessary. They should give her and her team the womenswear and find another cd only for menswear.
The yellow and the dusty pink coats though!
I know it’s menswear but I want them for me.

I actually think that co-ed does good to her menswear. Her menswear has always lacked in identity while she has been consistent in her womenswear. I feel like her menswear looks more relevant as a supporting act of the womenswear.
 
Very sexy and very Italian. Furs, skins, luxurious textiles this is what I want to see from a Roman fashion house, not the wishi washi pish that KJ was subjecting us to.
The chevron leather pieces made me think of a tiger on the prowl, the colour palette was tasteful and undeniably Fendi. And you can tell Silvia learned a lot from working with Karl.

You are probably right. I am just generally against co ed shows, it always dilutes the collection.
I think that menswear requires a different approach and skill. Silvia has proven multiple times that she has a good eye for accessories and womenswear but her attempts at men's collections never convinced me. It lacked the strong point of view that her women's has
 
Silvia really said Fendi is my name and this is a family business.
In one collection she managed to bring the fun, the fashion and the fur back at Fendi.

I love that with the opening look she unabashedly reminded everybody that’s Fendi means fur. she goes all out with the opulence and hold nothing back.
The fur is fabulous, I’m obsessed with Lulu opening, that’s how you do fur at Fendi. I really want that coat on look 12 for myself.
I love the cast, it’s perfect for the show. These clothes need characters to elevate them and not just fresh face teenagers. Lulu means business with her opening.

I always knew Silvia has it in her. She proved and proved again that she doesn’t need anyone (maybe a menswear director), but this collection and her previous solo stint just showed that she understands Fendi at it core, and add an unnecessary vision from outside only dilute it.
And now please bring back couture, I need another “The dawn of Romanity”.

What a show to celebrate your milestone.
Happy 100 years Fendi.
 
Single-handedly undoing everything Kim thought he did. She said hold my Spy bag while I make Mr. Jones look like an idiot, and did!

Her use of the color pink is extraordinary and she is obviously an embellishment nerd like Karl.
 
You can tell there’s no direction… the show is a little bit of everything. No editing, lot of different shapes, hate that they included menswear, the quilted things with the voluminous shoulders were really unflattering and just ugly, the menswear felt like Prada 2014 or so sometimes, the layering and the styling was super off, the dresses with the lace were so… unnecessary… same for the embellishments… the peplum in the jacket + the peplum in the skirts looked so bad

Lot of prints, colors, shapes, textures mixed together… and some of it didn’t work at all.

Yes, of course there were a few beautiful trench coats and amazing fur that you could possibly never stop touching, but that’s about it.

Some of it felt Prada, some of it N21, some of it even a little bit first Alessandro Michele show for Gucci… I don’t know, don’t get the fuss. It’s not bad for a transition, but saying it’s mediocre is almost being too positive.
 
Who closed the show? Lindsey or Mona? Happy to see Lindsey walking in A list show again:clap:

I haven't looked at the clothes but I desperately desperately want a different style runway and videography from anyone. Everyone doing the big massive room maze thing with a million people in attendance, recording from 7000 different angles, it feels like one universal sterile packaged product. Maybe it's my low attention span not being able to pick apart everything myself but I just don't like it.
I think with the growth of coed shows and the amount of “clients”/influencers they want to shove into the space has really made shows bit of a cluster f*ck to watch. This season has really amped it up with the maze shows when it isn’t necessary at all. I can’t watch, and even a lot of the images are just drowned with people in the background staring off despondently as they’re paid to be there to add value to the hype.

The collection itself is rather gorgeous. Just needs to be women’s only mainly to lighten the visual load and have better focus. Textures are divine. In a way what Blazy attempted at Bottega in some parts (or even Davis’ Ferragamo) without the gimmicks. Accessible, chic and to the point.
 
It is a good offering after the KJ years but I don't get the overenthusiasm toward it as there is nothing special but just good clothes.
 
What more proof do you need of Silvia's talent and vision for Fendi than with this collection? It was exactly what was needed for the house. Super chic, super Italian, and super luxe without any gimmicks. Silvia outdid Kim Jones with ONE collection, and yet LVMH is still going to appoint someone to co-design with her?

If they do that, they have completely lost their minds. Maria Grazia Chiuri will drive this brand into the ground with her pseudo-feminist aesthetic, Grecian gowns and sandals, and her excruciatingly woke and pretentious daughter who will bring all her third-wave feminist ideologies into the fold under the guise of being a "cultural advisor" to the brand. We don't need that at Fendi. The house is a living testament to the strength and power of woman and sisterhood and that says exactly what it needs to say. No slogan t-shirts needed.

We do not need Fendi to be a Dior 2.0. We need Fendi to be Fendi. Period.
