Fendi S/S 2026 Milan

This is the second season fendi has been released from Kim Jones sweaty palms and carb induced fatigue, and she breathes! while not my favourite collection, its filled to the brim with ideas, interesting textures and colors and a deeply modern Italian sensibility. it feels closer to Prada before Raf's castration of the brand.
its a bit earnest this collection, lacking the cynicism and darkness of the likes of Demna. and I really appreciate that, fun clothes for the stores!

The collection as a whole didn't please me, but there are some pieces and bags that I found beautiful... Unfortunately, something much worse than last season, but nothing tragic and Silvia once again proved that she alone is more than enough!

 

[Avonlea]

This collection made me question Silvia's taste. It could be presented during LFW. It was saccharine, frumpy, flimsy, sometimes cheap looking. It felt like watered down Kim Jones, Celine by Philo and Prada. I am really disappointed. The bags and shoes weren't even that great.

The Fendi woman is not Tilda Swinton da fuq is this , its so cold clinical and depressing.

 

[Lola701]

It’s almost sad when a collection has so many great pieces but fail to be good.

The set and the rythmn of the show were bad. The menswear drag the whole thing down. As for the womenswear, a lot of great dresses, great furs, fabulous bags and shoes but a lot of things were just too complicated and it lacked focus.

Karl used to do those very « sporty » and technical collections where mixing innovations and gimmicks kinda took over from the allure and the message. And it was generally during the spring summer seasons that he used to do that. I think about SS2012, SS2017 and even his last SS collection for Fendi with the pockets and the plastics and the perforations…

The whole collection seems to be about lightness giving how those clothes moved and where light: a lot of « easy » fabrics but the whole thing looked heavy.

I still love Silvia but I’m still advocating for Daniel Lee to join her.

Fabulous cast though!

Not my favorite, Silvia first misstep in her solo career.

The set, the color palette reminded me of the Fendi SS14 but the weird mix of floral prints that is too Prada-ish really bring the collection down. And the styling also doesn’t help the collection, too much Prada for my taste.
The menswear doesn’t have any narrative, it just there.

At least the furs are good, and there are some cute bags and shoes.

While some pieces were beautiful and refined, the collection lacked the cohesive editing and styling that would have made it truly sensible. Quite a contrast from last season, which was fabulous!

 

[chiccestlavie]

Some great individual looks but overall felt a little too “intellectual” and sterile for Fendi.

 

[Alquimista]

Severe at the beginning but it got better more colorful. This is great fashion. Love the casting + set.

 

[blusheels]

I actually loved it. It was fun, fresh, wearable and made me smile while seeing it on the runway. I could pass without some of the mens looks though but other than that one of my favourites of SS26 so far.

 

[reese06]

I like the collection.

In think Sylvia was trying to mix this bourgeois dressing with athletic/sporty and technical elements but I’m not fully convinced even if there are good pieces that were more successful. Hit and miss collection.

Some of the technical and sporty elements seem gimmicky and decorative.

Also can we do away with co-ed shows. The men’s feels like it was an afterthought and is quite boring. No new shapes, sharpness or real challenging fun proposal for men. A disappointment.

Give me this knit though

 

[Gazillion]

One of the models did a spin turn...what was that? lol I like Sylvia, but this isn't her finest work. If certain questionable pieces could be excluded, this collection would appear more cohesive.

 

[hamburgers]

Weirdly dusty collection and the show production didn't help. Menswear is distracting and needs to go back to the Jacquemus runway where it belongs. Still, I hope MGC is not the current forerunner to succeed as per Lauren Sherman.

Is there a 60's trend forecast all the big brands paid for this season? There was a 60's byline at Prada mens, Burberry, Gucci, and now Fendi.

Not my favorite, Silvia first misstep in her solo career.

SS20 was also pretty bad, but all the other collections more than make up for it.

 

[mrbelgravia]

You know the clothes are a mess when even icons like Natasha and Saskia fail to make you want them.

 

[Kite]

One of the worst shes done. BAD.

 

[KilltheLook]

It's so weird to follow up one of the best collections at Fendi in years with this...

Now I'm actually questioning Sylvia' ability to lead the house by herself. She nails the good taste (last season) perfectly but failed to make bad taste intriguing. This is just bad taste...

This is one of a rare occasions where I advocate for a dual creative directors. Sylvia needs someone to challenge her view.

 

[Fiercification]

This feels very early 2010s to me, which isn't a bad thing. It all feels a bit saccharine and yes overall is weaker than her previous output but still miles ahead of whatever KJ was doing to me. Perhaps the outstanding cast is making me look past many of the flaws though.
