For Fall 2026, Chiuri explored the idea of a wardrobe without strict boundaries. Tailoring, coats and trousers moved between traditionally masculine and feminine codes, creating pieces designed to be shared, adapted and worn beyond conventional definitions.
Black dominated the collection, giving the clothes a confident restraint, while military details, denim, lace, velvet and distressed leather introduced moments of contrast. Precise tailoring sat alongside softer silhouettes, creating a wardrobe that felt practical without losing Fendi’s sense of craftsmanship.
The collection also looked back while moving forward. References to the house’s history appeared through accessories, jewellery and familiar Fendi signatures, while the presence of the five founding sisters was celebrated through graphic motifs and intarsia pieces.
Rather than relying on spectacle, Chiuri’s debut placed the emphasis on clothes designed to become part of everyday life. It was a measured introduction to her Fendi, where heritage is not preserved in place, but reinterpreted for a new generation.
