Silvia Venturini Fendi Steps Down, When Anna Wintour Met Miranda Priestly, Plus! Giorgio Armani’s Final Collection!

20

Surprise! Silvia Venturini Fendi is stepping down from Fendi, which the brand shared on Instagram today. Fendi’s exit, effective October 1, follows her lengthy tenure at her family’s brand since the late ’80s—which included her creation of the iconic Fendi Baguette bag in 1997 and longtime work with Karl Lagerfeld until his passing in 2019. The announcement also follows her last several celebrated collections marking Fendi’s 100th anniversary, the most recent of which launched to positive acclaim at Milan Fashion Week. As for Fendi’s next steps? She’ll be appointed honorary president at the brand, which will announce its new creative direction in “due time,” according to LVMH—and just when we thought the 2020’s creative director shuffle was over! Front Rowers are whispering that her replacement will be Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Miranda Priestly Meets Anna Wintour At Dolce & Gabbana’s MFW Show

Can you please spell “Gabbana”? Over the weekend, Dolce & Gabbana‘s Spring 2026 show had two very special guests: legendary Runway editor Miranda Priestly and her right-hand man, Nigel. The duo were joined by Miranda’s assistant in the second row, and, following the show, held a meeting with none other than Anna Wintour—who Priestly playfully made “finger guns” at on the runway! In actuality, the meta moment was part of The Devil Wears Prada 2‘s production picking up in Europe with cast members Meryl Streep (Priestly), Stanley Tucci (Nigel), and Simone Ashley (Miranda’s to-be-named assistant). While in-costume, Streep also met Wintour backstage, with the pair’s interactions going instantly viral upon taking over Vogue‘s Instagram feed. We’ll be on the lookout for this dynamic duo as the Paris shows begin this week!

Giorgio Armani’s Last Collection Marks An Emotional End To Milan Fashion Week

Milan Fashion Week concluded on a touching note, courtesy of Giorgio Armani. Following Mr. Armani’s passing at 91 earlier this month, his namesake brand ended the Italian city’s Spring 2026 season with his final collection, shown to an audience of muses and confidants including Cate Blanchett, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Richard Gere, Lauren Hutton, Samuel L. Jackson, and Dries Van Noten. Originally intended to mark Armani’s 50th anniversary, the candlelight-lit runway was filled with the designer’s signature blue tones across elegantly draped suiting, dresses, and dapper menswear. His signature subtle glamour shone through complementary tones of purple, green, taupe, and gray, as well as glistening beadwork, shimmering trims, and silky woven cords in belts and bags for a smooth vintage flair. In a powerful and viral finale, longtime Armani muse Agnes Zogla wore a sparkling embellished gown with Mr. Armani’s face on the bodice, proving his presence was all around.
