LICA Design Studio invites you to take a closer look at the textile trends which are the inspiring base for the new print collection AW 25/26. 

Already from far the scarlet red will strike you. With the color red one might associate power, wealth and glamour. And it is indeed glamorous when Juliette Binoche walks down the red carpet in her vibrant red gown by Dior at the Festival de Cannes in 2024. And when she then handed over the honorary Palme d’Or to Meryl Streep, she gave a remarkable, emotional speech in honor of Meryl Streep’s achievements. Moreover, Binoche’s words transfer a strong, empowering energy to women in general. With the various use of the color red in the new print collection LICA likes to put emphasis on this feminine energy, because we believe this is what the world needs right now. 

The red color palette is most present in the trend Phantasmagoria: The color fills extravagant floral motifs and abstract organic forms. Sharp contours blur. It is a dark theme that also contains colors like dark blue, anthracite and pink.

In Dream Memories the colors fade as if a misty veil was thrown over the prints. But next to the nostalgic appearance this trend proposes an edgy twist. The mainly floral patterns seem to be fluid and support the idea of blurred, peaceful memories.

While Dream Memories is a return to former (good) times, New Spheres imagines a new future! The complex trend joins worldly and otherworldly elements, explores crystals and cosmic constellations, and deals with a magical technology on the one hand and a distinct sensitivity on the other hand. The prints are full of contrasts, as they also combine dark and light colors, mainly black and white with strong accents of a cold blue.

The Mother Earth theme has a warm expression. Organic, irregular structures come in earthy tones and fiery colors calmed down by green and blue hues. A strong orange possesses a similar energy like the scarlet red of the Phantasmagoria trend. In the face of today’s world it seems inevitable to remember to worship the planet we live on and the nature we live from. In this trend we consciously assemble and mend earth fragments, imitate explosive patterns and revitalize soothing textures.

As the final act we like to present to you the Circus Act, since this theatrical trend is full of joy and lightness which we all might look for. The stories, that are told by the prints, transfer you to another world. They bring all kinds of animals in the most vibrant colors onto the stage and let acrobats swing through the air. We get lost in cheerful geometric patterns in orange, pink or blue colors.
