The FENDI Men’s Fall/Winter 2024-25 collection, envisioned by Artistic Director Silvia Venturini Fendi, is about the relationship between tradition and technology, encapsulating both urban sophistication and the great outdoors. The collection is a take on the ever-evolving landscape of menswear, offering innovative answers to the constant quest for new silhouettes and meanings.
The collection showcases a palette of colors, ranging from peat and granite to burnt umber, coal, and forest green, punctuated by striking cornflower and denim blues, cherry, grass green, canary yellow, and cloud gray. These colors are carefully integrated into the fabrics, which include soft Casentino blanket wools, all-weather cloths, and smooth loden.
Fendi has infused the spirit of the Scottish kilt throughout the collection, with long pleated shorts, leather Wellingtons, checked skorts, and classic trousers. The outerwear is particularly noteworthy, featuring raglan shoulders, flat leather tab buttons, and Selleria leather collars. The collection also includes opulent bombers and peacoat shapes with trompe l’oeil shearling details, as well as color-blocked knitwear that adds playful accents to the tailoring.
In addition to the garments, Fendi’s accessories for Fall/Winter 2024-25 are a celebration of curves and contours. The new Siesta bag and the Melon hobo and backpack styles are highlights, alongside two-tone leather wash bags and the cushioned Peekaboo ISeeU Soft bag. Footwear includes elevated lace-up deck shoes and grain leather Wellington boots with Selleria stitching.
The collection also features groundbreaking collaborations, such as the FENDI x DEVIALET Mania portable speaker and designs created with architecture studio Ma Yansong/MAD Architects. These partnerships add a futuristic edge to the collection, exemplified by the deconstructed Peekaboo ISeeU with varnished aluminum contours and a futuristic sneaker with an organic, injection-molded sole.
The runway show, conceived by Italian artist Nico Vascellari, took place at the FENDI headquarters in Milan, Italy, with a live audience seated on brushed steel benches amidst a path of elongated FF monograms. The show’s soundtrack was a new original composition by Vascellari and DJ/producer Rocco Rampino.
