ICICLE FALL/WINTER 2026 COLLECTION

In the Folds of Nature, garments become gesture. A breath. A ripple. A fold that forms according to the spontaneous logic of fabric. Each irregularity, each crease, twist and asymmetry becomes a new perfection. This is the beauty of the natural. These pieces emerge from a dialogue between fabric and a human touch so minimal as to give the impression that the material was guided by its own forces. The folds evoke a style that does not seek to dominate but to accompany. Natural fabrics determine their own movement. Soft wools and cashmere gain weight and settle into spontaneous volumes, dense and protective. Flowing silks, gathered or twisted, create a delicate counterpoint. They ripple and shift like a slow current.

Satin introduces a subtle gleam. It slips between layers of wool, a reflection illuminating the depth of a heavy fold. Within these broad wool surfaces, it appears almost as light emerging from behind stone. The palette brings together timeless neutrals, raven black, ink blue, oyster shell and grey, with earthy browns and moss greens, punctuated by flashes of bright red and green. The folds unfurl through a system of loops placed at the waist or shoulder, releasing volume and allowing lines to shift and move. Balloon skirts play on the tension between delicacy and fullness, curving at the hem and flowing around the body.

The menswear collection defines a more assertive elegance. New classics born of traditional craftsmanship are revisited in terms of materials and proportions. The archetypes of menswear persist, finding a softer expression through delicate fabrics. Silhouettes are lightened by silk and cashmere, a counterpoint to sturdy tweeds, wool houndstooth and compact waistcoats. The collection proposes that beauty arises from a simple movement, a fold, a gesture. It is a celebration of the beauty of the
imperfect, the silent power of simple forms and a return to the essential.

ICICLE
Founded in Shanghai in 1997, ICICLE creates high-quality clothing and accessories from the finest natural materials, with respect for people and the environment. Since then, ICICLE has gained international renown as a manufacturer of clothing that combines quality and comfort. A modernity signed “MADE IN EARTH”. ICICLE’s success is built on the vision of its founding partners, YE Shouzeng and TAO Xiaoma.

The company’s philosophy is based on a trinity of Chinese values:
敬天 (Jing Tian): A sincere respect for the world around us.
爱人 (Ai Ren): A benevolence towards others.
惜物 (Xi Wu): An appreciation of what is given to us.

ICICLE’s mission is to connect people and nature by offering clothing for living and working while respecting the environment and always paying homage to the natural. Fully vertically integrated, the company adopts a rigorous approach to sourcing premium materials while pioneering intentional design and advanced manufacturing techniques in its own factories. The products are designed to last as long as possible, with a refined aesthetic where rigour meets casual elegance, following a responsible design process to avoid resource waste. This gentle minimalism ensures garments of intrinsic natural beauty that become companions for life. Today, ICICLE has developed a network of 235 boutiques worldwide, including 230 in over 100 cities across China. In 2013, a Design Centre opened in Paris, with the appointment of Bénédicte Laloux as Artistic Director. ICICLE inaugurated its first international address at 35 Avenue George V in Paris in 2019.

ICICLE is part of the ICCF Group (Icicle Carven China France), a Franco-Chinese fashion group, which has brought together since 2021 ICICLE in China and the Parisian fashion house CARVEN in France. This unique alliance found its concrete embodiment in 2024 with the inauguration of the ICCF Garden: an architectural space housing stand-alone stores for ICICLE men’s and women’s collections and CARVEN, alongside the refined culinary experiences of ICCF’s restaurant and gourmet café SILEX, centered around a beautifully landscaped garden on Shanghai’s prestigious Hengshan Road.
