FENDI X MAD ARCHITECTS: THEIR UNIQUE MENSWEAR COLLABORATION

By Aicha NDIAYE

Fendi has once again proven its dedication to the intersection of fashion, architecture, and design through a groundbreaking collaboration with MAD Architects. Under the creative direction of Silvia Venturini Fendi and Ma Yansong, founder of MAD Architects, this partnership is a testament to Fendi’s multidisciplinary approach to creativity. The collaboration made its debut during the Men’s Fall/Winter 2024-25 runway show in Milan.

Founded in 2004, MAD Architects is renowned for its pioneering approach to contemporary architecture. With offices in Beijing, Los Angeles, and Rome, MAD Architects seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with an Eastern philosophy of harmony with nature. The collaboration with Fendi builds upon this ethos, infusing futuristic architectural elements into fashion accessories that push the boundaries of conventional design.

At the heart of this collaboration is the reimagining of the iconic Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU bag and the creation of the new Fendi MAD sneaker. These pieces embody the synergy between man and nature, merging architectural principles with fashion.

The design of the Peekaboo ISeeU bag features varnished aluminum pieces that deconstruct the facade of the bag, adorning the handle and creating a ripple effect that evokes continuous movement. This new version available in two exclusive colorways, is a dynamic and futuristic accessory that challenges traditional notions of luxury design.

The collaboration also introduces a slip-on fashion sneaker that embodies Fendi’s progressive stance on men’s footwear. The sneaker’s available in black, dove grey and off white, features a futuristic shape with two-tone bubble details and shaded metallic accents.

This partnership between Fendi and MAD Architects is a celebration of innovation, craftsmanship, and the merging of disciplines. It reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to exploring new frontiers in design. By partnering with MAD Architects, Fendi elevates its menswear collection and redefines the possibilities of what can be achieved when fashion and architecture converge.
