As Shanghai slips into its most celebratory season, the city’s fashion rhythm shifts toward color, symbolism, and togetherness. This January, Fendi taps into that spirit with a Chinese New Year 2026 pop-up that feels less like a retail moment and more like an immersive lifestyle vignette—one rooted in ritual, playfulness, and the Maison’s distinctive Roman elegance. Timed to the arrival of the Year of the Fire Horse, Fendi’s Shanghai Pop Up introduces the latest capsule collection through a lens of warmth, optimism, and modern luxury.
“This collection is about joy, togetherness, and the beauty of shared rituals—translated through color, texture, and craftsmanship.”

Fendi’s Shanghai Pop Up unfolds as a visual celebration, echoing the capsule’s design language: bold color-blocking inspired by the Spring/Summer 2026 runway, floral motifs rendered with softness and movement, and whimsical details that speak to luck and prosperity. In a city where fashion and lifestyle are inseparable, Fendi’s Shanghai moment lands with particular resonance—bridging contemporary style with deeply rooted cultural codes.
A Capsule Designed for Celebration

At the heart of Fendi’s Shanghai Pop Up is the Chinese New Year 2026 Capsule Collection, designed for both women and men and infused with festive symbolism. Women’s ready-to-wear centers on three classic FF logo knit pieces, refreshed in light blue and framed with unexpected color-block trims in pink and yellow. The contrast is intentional: opposing hues meet in a spirited dialogue, reflecting both the optimism of the new year and the energy of Fendi’s SS26 aesthetic.
Accessories take on a starring role. Two new BFF Mini charms expand the playful family first introduced in Fall/Winter 2025–26, dressed in auspicious reds and adorned with persimmons and peanuts—symbols tied to the Chinese phrase wishing smooth paths and good fortune. A limited-edition BFF Maxi charm elevates the narrative further, showcasing mink hair, leather tailoring, and shearling accents that underline the Maison’s commitment to craftsmanship, even at miniature scale.

“From knitwear to charms, every detail feels intentional—designed to carry meaning while remaining effortlessly wearable.”
For men, the capsule leans into understated festivity. A blue nylon windbreaker, cotton hoodie, and white T-shirt are decorated with a floral-inspired Fendi logo, combining watercolor-style prints with delicate embroidery. The result is an elegant yet relaxed wardrobe statement—perfectly attuned to Shanghai’s modern, style-savvy man.
Fashion as Ritual, Lifestyle as Storytelling at Fendi’s Shanghai Pop Up

Beyond the garments themselves, Fendi’s Shanghai Pop Up shines in its storytelling. Fendi accompanies the launch with a heartwarming video that plays within the pop-up environment, depicting the BFF family preparing for a Chinese New Year reunion. Scenes of making jiaozi, adjusting outfits, spraying perfume, and greeting friends with laughter mirror the rituals many families recognize—small gestures that define the holiday’s emotional core. In a poetic final moment, the dumplings are arranged to form the Fendi logo, merging tradition with contemporary branding in a way that feels genuine rather than performative.
This narrative approach transforms the pop-up into a lifestyle tableau. Visitors are invited not only to shop, but to linger—to absorb the textures, colors, and cultural references that frame the collection. It’s a reminder that luxury today is as much about experience and emotion as it is about product.
Available from January 15, 2026, in selected boutiques and online in China, the Chinese New Year 2026 Capsule marks a thoughtful, fashion-forward start to the year. In Fendi’s Shanghai Pop Up captures the spirit of renewal with a pop-up that feels festive yet refined—proof that when fashion embraces tradition with care, the result can be both meaningful and irresistibly stylish.
