Silvia Venturini and the design team marked the brand’s centennial with a spectacular collection of 85 looks. The show took place in a historic building, which housed a newly restored boutique and atelier of the five Fendi sisters, specially renovated for the occasion.

Silvia Venturini drew inspiration from family photographs. For this occasion, the show invitations were designed as miniature photo albums – one featuring a six-year-old Silvia posing for Karl Lagerfeld in a Fendi ad campaign. In 1966, Lagerfeld, who led Fendi at the time, asked young Silvia to walk the runway. Continuing this tradition, she invited her own six-year-old grandsons, Tazio and Dardo, to open the Milan Fashion Week show.

For this collection, Silvia merged Fendi’s menswear and womenswear directions. "I touched on different decades, but I also try to avoid defining anything in particular… I have deep respect for the fact that when something is beautiful, it remains beautiful forever."

The Fall-Winter 2025 anniversary collection featured structured coats, fur outerwear, monochrome suits, cinched blazers, and full-circle skirts. Leather tops with sloped shoulders, intricate embellishments of multicolored gemstones, various renditions of the iconic Baguette bag, soft pastel, and cream tones, and even sheer nude tights all contributed to this milestone collection.
