Can Luxury Be Trippy? Fendi’s Bold Experiment in Milan
PetitePaulina – Luxury fashion often experiments with boundaries, but Silvia Venturini Fendi took it to a new level in Milan. On Wednesday, she presented a collection filled with psychedelic florals, sporty details, and playful accessories. The result proved that high-end fashion can be fun, eccentric, and even a little trippy.
The show’s setting amplified the energy. Marc Newson designed a pixelated, undulating stage that reflected the collection’s vibrant chaos. Guests perched on colorful cubes, clutching their Fendi bags while comparing quirky charms. Fendi pioneered this accessory trend long before it became a craze.

Sport Meets Elegance
Venturini Fendi is known for reinventing classics. This season, she merged activewear details with refined luxury. Elastic drawstrings, adjustable straps, and zippered hems — all borrowed from windbreakers — appeared throughout the lineup.
Track jackets made of silk faille were paired with pencil skirts, creating a bold twist on the luncheon suit. Meanwhile, perforated, laser-cut leather anoraks offered outdoor silhouettes with a polished edge.
“I wanted to elevate the everyday,” the designer explained backstage. Her words captured the collection’s central theme: practical pieces, but elevated into chic staples.
Quiet Luxury Turns Loud
In recent years, Fendi embraced understated elegance. This season, that quietness gave way to vibrant expression. Bright floral cutouts, printed lace, and sequins brought energy to the runway.
Even the iconic Peekaboo bags carried hidden delights. Venturini Fendi embroidered lavish details inside them, describing it as “private luxury.”
Accessories added another layer of eccentricity. Standout items included furry mesh loafers, chunky jewelry, and the new Collier handbag with an integrated necklace.
A ’90s Revival With a Twist
Although sporty influences dominated, the collection also nodded to the rebellious spirit of the ’90s. Combined with psychedelic motifs and whimsical elements — such as egg-shaped fluffy charms — the show felt nostalgic yet forward-looking. Diesel’s egg-shaped pods earlier in the week made the coincidence even more playful.

Final Impressions
Venturini Fendi has always embraced reinvention. This season, she reminded the fashion world that luxury doesn’t need to whisper; sometimes, it should shout with color, texture, and personality.
With the Winter Olympics approaching in Milan, her sporty-chic vision arrives at the perfect time. More than just clothes, the show delivered a spectacle where elegance collided with eccentricity. It redefined luxury with a wink and a smile.
