Icicle introduces the Fall Winter 2026 Atelier collection through an exploration of fabric structure and gesture. The season develops garments through folds, creases, twists, and asymmetry that arise from the behavior of textiles. Each piece begins with a minimal intervention that allows fabric to guide the formation of the silhouette. Through this process the garments take shape through the natural logic of the material.
FALL WINTER 2026 WOMENSWEAR
The collection treats folds as the primary structural element. Creases and irregular surfaces appear across coats, dresses, and skirts, creating silhouettes shaped through shifting volumes. These folds follow the weight and texture of the textiles, allowing the garments to settle into form around the body. This approach produces silhouettes that emphasize gesture and fluid structure.
Natural fabrics define the construction of the collection. Soft wools and cashmere introduce weight and density. These textiles gather into thick folds that build protective volumes. The materials settle into layered shapes that create structure through their own physical properties.
Silk appears as a lighter element within the lineup. Creative director Bénédicte Laloux gathers and twists the fabric to form gentle ripples across garments. These surfaces create fluid contours that contrast with the heavier wool constructions. Through this interaction the collection balances density and fluidity within the silhouettes.
Satin introduces reflective surfaces within the layered garments. The collection features satin within folds of wool so that the fabric appears between heavier layers. The sheen of satin creates points of brightness that appear within the depth of the folds. This material interaction produces visual contrast between matte textures and reflective surfaces.
Structural details guide the formation of the silhouettes. Laloux incorporates loops placed at the waist or shoulder. These elements release volume and allow the garments to change shape. Through this system the lines of each piece shift in response to the body.
Balloon skirts represent one of the key silhouettes within the collection. The skirts curve outward at the hem and form rounded shapes that circle the body. This structure emphasizes fullness while maintaining a delicate surface through the folded fabric.
The color palette grounds the collection in winter tones. Raven black, ink blue, oyster shell, and grey establish the base of the lineup. Earthy browns and moss greens deepen the palette. Accents of bright red and green introduce contrast within the garments.
The menswear section develops a related direction. Laloux revisits familiar menswear forms through adjustments in fabric and proportion. Silk and cashmere lighten the silhouettes of jackets and coats. These materials interact with heavier textiles such as tweed, wool houndstooth, and compact waistcoats.
