Fendi offers its Pre-Collection Spring/Summer 2026
FENDI has released the Pre-Collection SS 2026, designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi. The women’s collection offers flashbacks to Jackie Onassis in Rome and Studio 54 in New York fused with sartorial sportswear. The palette is drawn from the last days of disco, with turquoise and mandarin, slate blue and blush pink, with dappled shades of coffee, burgundy, black and white. Tailoring fabrics are cut in rakish volumes, from a peak lapel blazer with a matching ra-ra skirt to boxy city shorts or oversize trousers with a high cuff. Zip-through parachute pants come in glossy taffeta, and silk cotton parkas sport velvet or corduroy lapels. Prim shirts extend into box-pleat kilts under hooded patch-pocket taffeta coatdresses, as pencil skirts unzip like bomber jackets. Polka dot patterns are abstracted across the collection, starting with the deep neckline, ruffled peplum and all. Taffeta bubble skirts and bustiers are splashed with hand-drawn spots. A speckled “moth wing” motif appears in taffeta, intarsia and shaved shearling, culminating in embroidered evening dresses that sparkle with micro sequins. For men, Venturini Fendi extends the party with relaxed jewel-toned layers and boyish silhouettes. There are velvet tuxedos with detached satin lapels, moth print shirts, and jacquard denim jeans. A denim cashmere caban, silicone-bonded patent leather parkas and garment-dyed corduroy trucker jackets are a conscious call-and-repeat with the women’s collection. The women’s accessories riff on the season’s abstract variety of Falena pattern, with butterfly wing-embroidered or sequined Baguette styles, shaved shearling and intarsia Peekaboo versions, and speckled peppered moth prints appearing on the soft Fendi Spy bag. In smooth calfskin, the new “keep-all” tote slides on adjustable shoulder straps finished with FF logo hardware, and the Baguette appears as a slim FF buckle clutch. Arched-heel peep-toe sandals and two-tone calfskin court shoes play with vivid colors, and Colibrì pumps are finished with soft satin bows. Articulated O’Lock brooches and FF earrings designed by Delfina Delettrez Fendi are dotted with pearls, bows and crystals forming a unique and precious choreography. For men, accessories echo the season’s palette from burnished burgundy lug-soled lace-ups to flat FF buckled loafers, a Falena print FENDI Lui duffel bag and the wearable Baguette bag in soft calfskin leather, and the Peekaboo in an upcycled patchwork of Cuoio Romano leather. The collection is now available at Fendi boutiques and on fendi.com.
