The designer's homecoming wasn't just a personal triumph&mdash;it was a celebration of Fendi's past, present, and future.&nbsp;

When it comes to Milan Fashion Week, Fendi always draws a crowd. After Silvia Venturini Fendi stepped away from the creative helm of the brand last year and Maria Grazia Chiuri took up the mantle, the house's Fall/Winter 2026 show was a highly anticipated watch, to be sure. To no surprise, Chiuri delivered refined sophistication with thoughtful philosophies behind each piece&mdash;all in line with the collection's theme, "Less I, More Us."&nbsp;
Chiuri, who began her design career at Fendi in 1989, looked towards the label's storied history for inspiration. Drawing inspiration from the five Fendi sisters, the Italian heritage of the brand, and its timeless glamour, Chiuri put forth her "declaration of intent," as the show notes dubbed it.
Rather than defining a set of characters or archetypes, the Fall/Winter 2026 collection moves to unite sartorial desire across gender, geography, and lived experience. As a whole, the line is nomadic, tactile, and collective, but never unfocused. Here, dressing becomes a force to express emotions, personality, and the everyday&mdash;because after all, clothing is what accompanies us from the moment we wake up to the second we close our eyes at night.&nbsp;
As per usual, the show was a star-studded affair. From longtime friends of the label, brand ambassadors, and ultra-chic celebrities, it was a gathering of the most style-savvy stars in the game, and the excitement in the room was palpable. Attendees included Uma Thurman, Dakota Fanning, Shailene Woodley, Bang Chan, Tang Yan, Monica Bellucci, Alice Rohrwacher, Yunjin Huh, Iris Law, Gene and Lennon Gallagher, Song Yuqi, and Arden Cho, among others.&nbsp;
