Maria Grazia Chiuri makes her Fendi 2026 debut as Aitana turns leopard print into the ultimate accessory for a total black look.
Milan Fashion Week 2026 provided the backdrop for one of the most talked-about shows of the year: the first autumn collection for Fendi under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri — a pivotal moment for the Italian house marking the beginning of a new era.
The Fall/Winter 2026 show took place on 25 February and consolidated Chiuri’s vision, as she returned to Fendi following a successful tenure at Dior. Her motto — “Less I, more us” — reflected a philosophy of collaborative and inclusive fashion, prioritising versatile, elegant pieces beyond the traditional concept of logomania.
The collection was defined by restrained silhouettes and a palette dominated by black and neutral tones, featuring coats, oversized blazers and reimagined icons such as the Baguette bag, alongside animal-print accessories that revived the maison’s signature spirit.
Among the attendees, celebrity presence drew particular attention. Singer Aitana, known for her influence in fashion and beauty, attended the show carrying a leopard-print Fendi bag that is already emerging as the perfect accessory to transform any total black look, reinforcing her status as a style reference.
The front row also included Jessica Alba, Uma Thurman and Monica Bellucci, underlining the cultural relevance of the event and its international impact.
Chiuri’s collection not only pays tribute to Fendi’s heritage but also signals a move towards fashion designed for real life, with garments that combine practicality, timelessness and female empowerment.
Overall, Fendi 2026 reaffirmed the brand’s position as a key player on the global fashion calendar, where sartorial tradition meets a contemporary and accessible vision set to shape next season’s trends.
