MILAN — And they say women can’t make up their minds.

Men’s fashion week here is to revert back to four days in January, after Fendi became the latest high-profile brand to cancel its catwalk and France’s chamber of fashion allegedly reneged on a calendar agreement with its Italian counterpart.

A Fendi spokeswoman told WWD late Thursday that the Italian luxury house would forgo its runway show, slated for Jan. 21, the last day of the men’s shows. Instead, Sylvia Fendi will present the label’s men’s line by private appointment in Rome during the last week of January. Fendi joins Marni and Valentino on a growing list.
