Fendi Men's Spring/Summer 2025 Collection Defines the Modern "Fendi Man"

The Super Studio Maxi in Milan held this year's Fendi Spring/Summer 2025 runway show, which was rife with an air of simplicity and reflection. Silvia Venturini Fendi took this collection as an experiment in looking inward, appreciating the brand's past in order to bring it forward into the future. 

A runway adorned with rotating prisms refracted light and mirrored images, dazzling the audience. The collection also adhered to this reflective theme—free of frills, stripped back, and utilitarian, just as the house's timeless codes demand. The entire show echoes male silhouettes presented for the first time in 1990, pioneered by the house. The collection is made up of elegant garments, work uniforms, knitwear with unexpected twists, and looks with a preppy charm, all of which celebrate Fendi's history.

The show's palette takes pale shades of mist, indigo blue, and ivory, juxtaposing them with the traditional neutral colors Fendi is known for, with a predominant accent of intense green. As the label celebrates 100 years, many facets of the house have changed, including the iconic Fendi crest. This newest collection debuted a fresh version, one featuring four distinct sections on its iconic shield. The new quadrants of the crest featured the Double-F logo designed by Karl Lagerfeld, a squirrel referencing co-founder Edoardo Fendi's wife, and the Pequin stripe of Fendi's past. The final section of the new crest invoked the likeness of Janus, the Roman god associated with change, a hopeful reference to the brand's future. 

Accessories, now inseparable objects of the modern Fendi man, complete this collection's looks. In the Fendi Men's Spring/Summer 2025 collection, the Selleria bag appears again, as well as the Peekaboo ISeeU Soft, but the handbag that truly shocked the audience was the debut of the new Baguette Double crossbody. The Fendi cap also made a re-appearance in several new shades, including green tartan and denim. 

This collection ultimately leaves nothing to the imagination, crafting a thorough image of the "Fendi Man," as Silvia Venturini Fendi sees him. His neutral color scheme, aptitude for accessorizing, and appreciation of classic silhouettes are undeniably bold, marking a new era for the Fendi menswear line. 

Numerous special guests were present in the first row at the Fendi Men's Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show, from ranging from actor-director Xavier Dolan to singers Marco Mengoni, Mr. Rain, Bang Chan, Alvin Chong, and Tananai, House of the Dragon actor Fabien Frankel, football player Tyrod Taylor, actors Arón Piper, Zhang Ruoyun, and L'OFFICIEL Hommes cover star, actor Nicholas Galitzine.
