Tessa Koops FW26: a collection for the late summer_ presented at Modefabriek
For Tessa Koops_ Fall/Winter 2026 feels less like a season and more like a state of mind_ where layering_ freedom and personality are key. At Modefabriek_ the designer presents a collection inspired by the long Indian summer. It represents a transitional period where temperature_ mood and freedom of movement are more important than the classic idea of autumn and winter.
From seasonal thinking to temperature and mood
The FW26 collection is inspired by warmer autumn days and changing consumer travel habits. “We are seeing seasons shift_” explains Koops. “Extreme winters are short and commercially less relevant for our collection. At the same time_ summers remain warm_ but in a different way.” The result is a layered collection that can be worn for longer. Its styling revolves around combining and adapting to temperature rather than the calendar. This development aligns with previous seasons but takes a more pronounced form in FW26.
Materials_ contrasts and a new denim story
Choice of material plays a key role this season. Koops works with contrasts_ such as matte versus gloss and tough versus elegant. The collection is built on rich earth tones_ cool blue shades and a versatile green palette. Denim and viscose are also key pillars of the collection. Denim_ in particular_ marks a new step for the brand. For FW26_ Tessa Koops introduces jeans for the first time in three different fits. Each is available in two washes and colourways_ made with stretch comfort and durable quality. “Denim offers room for experimentation_” says Koops. “Especially in details and finishing.”
Silhouette_ key pieces and commercial focus
The silhouette remains recognisably feminine but gains more volume in both the upper and lower body. At the same time_ a slim focal point is always maintained in the silhouette. Think of a fitted blazer with wide-leg trousers; a bomber jacket with slim trousers; or a waist belt to balance the overall look. Dresses and tops remain the brand's strongest categories_ alongside a solid position for suits. Tops are the most commercially relevant for autumn_ aligning with consumer purchasing behaviour.
For women with their own taste
FW26 is designed for women who know what they want and consciously choose quality over quantity. It is for women who move_ travel_ dance and enjoy an active social and cultural life. The collection considers different body types and is intended to make every woman feel her best: powerful_ confident and authentic.
Outlook for partners
For wholesale partners_ FW26 represents a collection developed with care_ passion and commercial viability. With margins between 2.6 and 3.0_ the brand offers healthy opportunities for growth. Tessa Koops continues to build collections that are not only visually strong but also respond to changing needs_ with an eye for quality_ sustainability and long-term relevance.
