FENDI WOMENS SS26
Drawing inspiration from a personal sartorial memory of Silvia Fendi. The collection features Fendi in an 80s style party dress with monochrome polka dots and a ruffled peplum, an outfit she fondly remembered wearing at iconic nightclubs of the era.
This personal connection arose when her granddaughter discovered the vintage dress, sparking a desire to revisit and modernize its joyful essence. Fendi envisioned updating the design for contemporary needs, notably incorporating a discreet pocket for a mobile phone within the ruffle detail. She also chose parachute silk as a fabric, aiming for a modern and practical feel.
The ready to wear offerings juxtapose relaxed tailoring with cuffed shorts and ruffled mini skirts. Crisp silky taffeta is utilized in elegant trousers, dresses, and bomber jackets with military-inspired double zipper details. The Fendi double-F logo is subtly integrated through overstitching on washed denim pieces, representing a gentle branding approach within this personally driven collection. Silvia Fendi expressed her enjoyment in her current role, a sentiment reflected in the collection’s vibrant and wearable designs
