FW23 fabrics

Whether ribbed or smooth, velvet is making a comeback in the wardrobe Fête Impériale. Dressed in the most beautiful prints from the new [INDISTINCT CHATTER] collection, or in plain from the colorful range imagined for the season, velvet can be found on every piece in the wardrobe, from jackets and shirts to sweaters, dresses, pants and even bodysuits. And when you consider that over 70% of this range is Oeko-Tex® certified...

Fête Impériale has developed a whole series of viscose satin pieces for its new collection. All certified EcoVero® or FSC Certified Viscose, [INDISTINCT CHATTER] satins are available in prints or plain, in tops, shirts, dresses and even pants. This fluid, lightweight fabric offers great color intensity with its tight weave, and retains warmth while remaining breathable, making it perfectly suited to the winter season.

For this season, denim is played out in two ways. In a total nude look, in an Oeko-Tex®-certified fabric from Cotton or in raw blue organic Cotton with black crest prints Fête Impériale. In both cases, this textured fabric, a staple of our wardrobes, is available on its own or embellished with very fine polyester feathers that play on the clash of materials while adding volume and structure to the look.

Transparency is the name of the game with stretch mesh pieces for the autumn-winter season. Oeko-Tex®-certified, this delicate fabric features the iconic prints of the [INDISTINCT CHATTER] collection, and hugs the contours of the silhouette with elegance. Tops or dresses, these stretch tulle models will become emblematic pieces of la Maison, between impertinence, creativity and anti-conformism.

An ecological material produced from wood pulp and non-toxic solvent, Tencel (or lyocell) is a fabric prized for its resistance and breathability. Often compared to silk (it's also known as vegetable silk), this soft, flowing material blossoms in the [INDISTINCT CHATTER] collection, giving life to a series of pants and dresses, here in black. With Tencel, eco-responsibility rhymes with style.

Lacquered or textured, vinyl is one of the key materials in the new collection. Playing with light, vinyl is in turn reflective or glittery, its folds and drapes catching the light for a contrasting effect. Vinyl is in the spotlight for Autumn-Winter 2023, with details in the spirit of sheepskin or as a totally glossy piece.

This season, wool takes pride of place in the new collection. Merino wool or virgin wool, woven (like twill) or knitted (like knitwear): wool takes many forms and lends itself to all kinds of designs. Coats, pants, dresses, tops, skirts, sweaters and cardigans: you'll find all our wool models in a wide range of shades, from timeless to organic.

While Fête Impériale refuses to develop fur models for ideological reasons, faux fur has pride of place in the new Autumn-Winter 2023 collection! Soft, warm and enveloping, it can be used to create timeless pieces like the long Nama coat in black, or more creative ones like the slightly retro floral-patterned versions in muted and pastel hues.
