Fendi and Devialet, fashion sounds new
The collaboration between Fendi and Devialet is a rare example of a union where fashion and technology meet thanks to a common vision. The Italian Fashion House and the French audio brand have teamed up to create one product. Fendi x Devialet Mania portable speaker, turning an engineering object into a full-fledged element of lifestyle culture. The project is based on the Devialet Mania wireless speaker, compact, mobile and designed for 360-degree sound. Technologically, it remains true to the Devialet philosophy, with 360-degree stereo imaging, deep bass, clear highs and spatial adaptation of the sound. But in this union, sound is only half the story. The second half belongs to the visual language of Fendi symbols. The speaker body is “dressed” in textiles with the signature FF monogram; this is both a decorative device and an original shell that works with the tactility and rhythm of the surface. The fabric turns the device into an interior object, appropriate not only in a modern living room, but also in a space where details and materiality are valued. The color schemes are restrained, noble, with neat metallic accents, emphasizing the idea of a timeless item, rather than a seasonal accessory.
The collaboration premiered at the Fendi Men’s Fall/Winter 2024–25 show in Milan, where the column appeared not at a separate stand, but right on the catwalk, in the hands of models, as part of the look. This move was significant in the sense that sound was included in fashion along with fabric, silhouette and accessory. At the beginning of 2026, the Fendi x Devialet Mania column is presented with an updated design. For Devialet, this is one of the first such direct exits into the fashion context. The brand, known for its engineering rigor and symbol of a laconic letter D, like a precise monogram, maintains its own identity, but allows it to interact with the world of luxury without losing its meaning. For Fendi, this is a continuation of the conversation about how the monogram can live outside the usual forms, becoming part of objects of a new way of life. Fendi x Devialet Mania is not just an accessory and not just a speaker. This is an example of how two brands with different cultural backgrounds find common ground in respect for the form, function and internal logic of a thing. When style is heard as clearly as it is seen.
