Fendi, the geometry of the new logo and the modernist rigor
The starting point of autumn winter collection 2026/2027 it is a profound work of “subtraction”. Maria Grazia Chiuri, together with the graphic designer Lorenzo Sonnoli, has redesigned the Fendi logo bringing it back to the proportions of 1925influenced by Modernism and the majesty of Trajan’s Column. This rigor is reflected in every issue: the letters are pigeonholed into perfect squares. It is an aesthetic that favors the recognizability of volumes over graphics, a return to order that prepares the ground for a new functional elegance.
