For Tessa Koops, Fall/Winter 2026 is less about traditional seasons and more about a feeling. Layering, freedom and individuality take centre stage in a collection that embraces transition rather than definition. Tessa Koops FW26 is a late-summer collection presented at Modefabriek, inspired by the lingering warmth of an Indian summer. Instead of focusing on cold-weather dressing, the collection responds to shifting temperatures, evolving lifestyles and the desire for clothes that move effortlessly with the wearer.
From Seasonal Rules to Temperature and Emotion
The FW26 collection reflects a broader change in how consumers dress and travel. “We are seeing seasons shift,” Koops explains. “Extreme winters are becoming shorter and less relevant for our collections, while summers stay warm for longer, just in a different way.” This insight translates into a wardrobe built around adaptability. Pieces are designed to be layered, styled and worn across a longer period, guided more by temperature and mood than by the calendar. While this philosophy has been present in previous collections, it becomes more intentional and refined in FW26.
Materials, Texture Play and a Fresh Denim Direction
Fabric choice plays a decisive role this season. Koops experiments with contrast, pairing matte finishes with glossy surfaces and balancing tougher elements with refined details. The colour palette is grounded yet expressive, featuring rich earth tones, cool blues and a versatile range of greens.
Denim emerges as a standout development. For the first time, Tessa Koops introduces jeans in the collection, offered in three distinct fits and two different washes and colourways. Crafted with stretch for comfort and durability for everyday wear, denim opens new creative possibilities. “Denim gives us room to experiment,” says Koops, “especially when it comes to details and finishing.”
Silhouettes, Statement Pieces and Wearable Appeal
The FW26 silhouette remains unmistakably feminine while embracing more volume in both the upper and lower body. Balance is key: a defined focal point always anchors the look. A tailored blazer meets wide-leg trousers, a bomber jacket is paired with slim pants, or a belt cinches the waist to refine the shape.
Dresses and tops continue to be the brand’s strongest categories, supported by a confident suit offering. Tops, in particular, hold strong commercial value for autumn, reflecting current consumer buying behaviour and everyday versatility.
Designed for Women with Individual Style
FW26 is created for women who know their own taste and make deliberate choices. It speaks to those who value quality over excess and lead active, culturally rich lives—women who travel, dance, work and socialise with ease. The collection is designed with different body types in mind, aiming to make every woman feel powerful, confident and authentically herself.
A Confident Outlook for Wholesale Partners
For wholesale partners, FW26 represents a carefully developed collection that balances creativity with commercial strength. With margins ranging between 2.6 and 3.0, the brand offers healthy growth potential. Tessa Koops continues to focus on collections that are visually compelling while responding to changing consumer needs, with a strong emphasis on quality, sustainability and long-term relevance.
