Fendi revisits one of its signature footwear designs with the Very Colibrì, a refined new interpretation introduced as part of the Fall/Winter 2026–27 collection.
The original Colibrì slingback made its debut on the Spring/Summer 2018 runway, becoming instantly recognisable for its elegant silhouette and distinctive elastic straps. Balancing formality with a sense of lightness and agility, the shoe has remained an important part of the House’s footwear offering.
For her first Fendi collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri strips the design back to its essential lines. The resulting Very Colibrì retains the character of the original while introducing a more sensual and streamlined shape. A slender new heel brings greater lightness, while the deepened V-shaped vamp visually elongates the foot. Together, these details create a silhouette that moves easily between elegance and everyday wear.
The launch is accompanied by The Art of Balance, a campaign photographed by Michal Pudelka at Rome’s Stadio delle Terme di Caracalla. Through surreal compositions and moments of fluid motion, the images explore the relationship between dynamism, confidence and feminine grace.
Set against one of Rome’s historic sporting landmarks, the campaign connects the freedom of movement embodied by the Very Colibrì with the enduring character of the Italian capital.
The Very Colibrì is now available in Fendi boutiques.
