Punchy colors, bold florals, and dynamic textures make up Fendi’s new collection. It’s joyful, youthful, and anything but ordinary.
With its iconic, unapologetically bold personality, Fendi has since been the go-to brand of “it” girls, divas, style mavens, and statement makers. It’s for everyone who wants to be anything but ordinary. And the Italian fashion powerhouse is proving that once again with its Spring 2026 collection, which is a technicolor eye-candy all over. Think vibrant colors, big florals, and 90s style elements that are joyful, crafty, and occasionally kooky.
Creative director Silvia Venturini Fendi unveiled the collection at Milan Fashion Week, with an equally psychedelic, pixelated set devised by Australian industrial designer Marc Newson. This, and the collection itself, turned the runway show into a kaleidoscopic exploration of play, hue, and material experimentation.

Colors were the ultimate star, appearing as electric blue, deep purple, cardinal red, chocolate brown, sunny yellow, and the pinkest of pinks in a lineup that is in no way quiet luxury. Neutral tones intertwined with punchy colors and earthly hues to create balanced, color-blocked ensembles. Fabrics like sheer jacquards, perforated leather, and Fendi’s signature fur added life and texture to the the visual spectacle. Silhouettes strengthened the sense of ease and freedom, with cuts that blurred the lines between womenswear and menswear.
Balloon hems gave short blazers and cotton coats a soft, breezy structure, while organza collars and sheer shirts brought sophisticated ease to fishtail skirts. A salmon, boxy T-shirt paired with a loose red leather pants created a look that’s relaxed and put together at the same time, while a gray suit in a loose ‘80s silhouette featured a playful twist in the pink leather strap that tied all its buttons together. The marriage of masculine structure and feminine softness is also seen in tuxedo-bibbed blouses, box-pleated mini skirts, and loose printed shirt dresses.
The collection abounds with impressionist florals that were blown up, cut out, or sculpted as
“sunny side flowers.” Daisies and peonies bloomed in monochromatic shirts, sheer button-down blouses, leather dresses, drawstring jackets,plush coats, and a striking faux-fur jacket in warm chestnut.
Romance conversed with function in crochet polos, knit cardigans, silk twin sets, and suits paneled with plush textures. Sporty chicness was present all throughout in jackets, shorts, and dresses made extra functional with elastic drawstrings. Craft was also key to the collection and came in hand-painted guipure, glossy disc embroideries, and the house’s signature accessories that were given an eye-catching upgrade.
This year’s accessories are bright, bold, and full of the fresh intricate details. Silvia jazzed up the Fendi Collier with a chunky necklace, while the Hobo was perked up with pom-poms. Not only that, the label’s iconic bags like Baguette, Spy, Peekaboo, and Way were reimagined in bright suedes, shiny sequins, able-knit silk, and transparent floral cages.

Delfina Delettrez Fendi’s jewelry extended the play of craft in coral-shaped FF earrings, filigree cuffs, enamel nugget pendants, and eccentric eyewear. There were fluffy bug charms, too, and the ones modeled after fried eggs are definitely too cute not to make you feel happy, just like the rest of the Fendi Spring 2026 collection.
