FENDI Unveils Fall/Winter 2024-25 Men’s Collection
Milan, Italy – FENDI showcased its latest Fall/Winter 2024-25 Men’s Collection, seamlessly blending urban and woodland influences. The live fashion show, held in Milan, featured the creative genius of Silvia Venturini Fendi, with a visually striking presentation conceptualized by Italian artist Nico Vascellari.
The runway was adorned with an audience seated on brushed steel benches arranged along a path of elongated FF monograms, creating a geometric trail throughout the venue. The collection, inspired by noble outdoor activities and city boldness, displayed a color palette ranging from winter tones like peat and granite to burnt sienna, charcoal, and forest green. Bright accents of cornflower blue, cherry, grass green, canary yellow, and cloud grey added vibrancy, either in contrast or tone-on-tone.
Delving into the urban-bucolic duality, the spirit of the Scottish kilt permeated the collection, featuring pleated shorts paired with leather wellies and hiking socks, flat-front checkered skorts, and classic tailored trousers with controlled pleats on each leg. Generous outerwear shapes with raglan shoulders and flat leather buttons were embellished with Selleria leather collars and contrast accents in suede corduroy. Fisherman coats and waxed canvas FF rain jackets stood alongside opulent bombers and sailor coat forms adorned with faux sheepskin trims and seams.
The knitwear, a playful foundation of the collection, included color-blocked sweaters with heat-pressed cable-knit patterns, ribbed cardigans, and triple-layered hems or cuffs on polo sweaters and tanks. Expanding the material vocabulary, washed denim and mohair textures were distressed and woven to mimic fringed «skins,» while pleated polished leather transformed into exceptional trench coats and bomber jackets.
The eveningwear, designed by Jewelry Artistic Director Delfina Delettrez Fendi, shone in bright satin and lurex ensembles, accented with crystal-flowered FF brooches.
FENDI’s Fall/Winter 2024-25 Men’s Collection masterfully intertwines tradition and technology, offering a wardrobe born of necessity that harmonizes with Roman decadence, symbolizing the brand’s constant dialogue between the workshop and the world.
In the realm of accessories, the Fall/Winter 2024-25 Men’s Collection showcases a modest yet sophisticated tribute to Selleria craftsmanship and leather. Exploring the intersection of accessories with music and technology, the runway also introduced the FENDI x DEVIALET handheld portable speaker.
