Second day of Milan Men’s Fashion Week and it’s up to luxury house Fendi to take center stage. For its new spring-summer 2025 show, the Italian label led by Silvia Venturini Fendi invited its audience to an industrial space covered with mirrored columns moving throughout the show. Among the guests at the presentation of this summer collection, Nicholas Galitzine, Arón Piper and Xavier Dolan took a front row seat to discover next summer’s fashion trends. Here are all the details to remember from the Fendi spring-summer 2025 show.
A comfortable uniform
Silvia Venturini Fendi relied on the codes of the uniform to imagine her next collection. Blazer with badges, pleated pants, varsity shorts, logo caps and knit tank tops are the key words of his wardrobe for next summer. However, the Italian designer has endeavored to imagine a much relaxed and comfortable version of these pieces which are usually very codified and restrictive. Soft materials, mineral colors and increased proportions provide the major inspiration for this fashion show, to offer a wardrobe where comfort reigns.

The tie, the ultimate accessory
Long shunned following the advent of streetwear in the 2010s, the tie has made a particularly notable comeback in recent seasons. At Fendi, it goes with the majority of looks, sometimes worn formally over a suit, or more relaxed with shorts over an open jacket. The symbol of cool par excellence? Colorful and striped tie models, rolled up on themselves and worn in a careless way. Enough to play down this accessory usually compared to a rigid silhouette.

The advent of ballerinas
They were the stars of Kim Jones’ last fashion show for Dior Men last January. This time, it’s Fendi that we have to count on one of the most criticized shoe models among men. However, the Italian designer offers a hybrid version in extremely effective leather. Half ballerinas, half mules, the Fendi fashion show manages to masculinize the shape of this shoe, which is particularly popular in women’s wardrobes. Blue gray, black, off-white, pine green or even brown, the shoes in this collection easily adapt to all possible outfits presented. A detail that is enough to convince us that ballerina mules could indeed become part of our daily shoe rotation for good.

Italian tartan
This is the reference motif that runs through the first part of the new Silvia Venturini Fendi collection. Like a common thread, tartan is available on suit jackets, pleated pants, outerwear and even certain ties. An ancestral motif that we will undoubtedly see return to the forefront next summer.
