This week during Milan Fashion Week, FENDI Men’s unveiled its spring/summer 2025 collection at Super Studio Maxi—Europe’s inaugural LEED Gold®-certified event space. The hypnotic set design by Nico Vascellari beamed with silvery, mirrored columns, reverberating the runway’s lush looks for a meditative effect.
A multi-sensory performance unfolded as guests were immersed in a bespoke soundtrack by Vascellari and Rocco Rampino, in which amorous electronic beats pulsated throughout the ethereal portal.

An Opulent Runway Show in Anticipation of FENDI’s 100th Anniversary Unfolds
Silvia Venturini Fendi, Artistic Director of Accessories and Menswear, creatively built off of the brand’s first men’s silhouette revealed in 1990, a new, opulent plasticity and tenderness was deftly infused into the contemporary men’s wardrobe. The lines between dressing for business and pleasure were beautifully blurred, and nourishing hues of sherbet, buttermilk, and caramel brushed shoulders with soothing indigo, forest green, and ebony, emitting ease and sophistication.
Exquisite monochrome looks, geometric patterns, and immaculate attention to material and texture certainly caught the eye—as did this year’s soulful FENDI Club crest peppered throughout the collection on buttons and breast pockets as a guiding symbol of fluid evolution and electrifying momentum.

The Iconic Selleria Stitch and Historic Volumes Find Renewed Purpose in 2025
The house’s integral Selleria stitch, graciously handed down to the Fendi family in 1925 by expert Roman saddlers, finds new purpose in 2025.
The well-honed skill is revisioned in a perfectly fragmented pinstripe suit, in serene stripes or tonal FF logo across breezy linens and posh fabrics, transformed into Japanese boro denim, and instilled as the sinewy framework of refreshing leathergoods and wool outerwear.
Shape-shifting volumes spoke fondly of treasured garments from another time, and the blossoming cloth bomber jacket, sensual trench coat, and 3-button blazer with slashed trousers radiated an eternal, fancy-free attitude.

Artful Garments and Accessories Offer Blithe Moment to Moment Transition
Profiles were artfully molded, as seen in the crisp poplin shirt with open elbows, undulating polo plackets, and asymmetric silk knits worn unbuttoned for a blithe transition.
Elegant, pleated shorts were paired with extended patch-pocket overshirts, venerable silk ties, and relaxed summer jackets. The blissful marrying of leather, linen, ultralight suede, and Madras check cotton was invigorating to the eyes—and one can imagine even more so to the touch.
The accessories collection was uber plush, practical, and playful, maintaining the lyrical Selleria thread. FENDI’s Peekaboo ISeeU Soft bag and diagonal shoppers caused a stir, as did the debut Baguette Double crossbody with dynamic zippered details, and unforgettably the patchwork Baguette enhanced with chromatic offcuts derived from the house’s masterful ateliers.
Poignant moments of whipstitch brought the energy in FENDI Force sneakers, while gracefully molded lug-sole loafers and satiny wax thread-embroidered or patent leather slip-on flats waltzed the maison into a utopian new day.
