Due to its age and the ability of designers to constantly reinvent and restyle it, the black bodysuit has established itself as a truly timeless fashion piece. The history of the bodysuit is that of freedom of expression. It is difficult to find another piece that embodies the values carried by ICONE creations: those of liberated femininity, well-being and contemporary elegance.
It is to Jules Léotard, a 19th century trapeze artist, that we owe the creation of the ancestor of the bodysuit: the leotard. This outfit was then intended to free the gymnasts' performances. You are not dreaming, the bodysuit was indeed a masculine piece. Women seized it in the 1950s when the pin-up Bettie Page made it her favorite piece. The many daily tasks have replaced gymnastics figures, multipotentiality having become the norm in our intense lives. We are all multi-tasking heroines and in this sense, we deserve a tailor-made wardrobe in which a black bodysuit would inevitably appear . Due to its ability to be restyled and declined endlessly, the black bodysuit was declared in 1980 by Donna Karen, one of the greatest American stylists, as one of the seven essential pieces of the female wardrobe. And the creator of ICONE won't tell you otherwise!
The black bodysuit: the secret agent of the feminine wardrobe
The bodysuit is a real secret weapon for women. Both a piece of lingerie and an item of clothing, it can be worn during the day to embody who you want to be today and accessorized differently once night falls to define who you will be in the evening.
A versatile piece celebrating well-being
ICONE pieces all share a common history and values. Those of the Parisian design house and, implicitly, those of Marion Toccacieli, its founder. This young designer, enriched on the one hand by her status as a young woman in the 21st century and on the other hand by her certain taste for contemporary culture and photography, has seen the birth of a visceral desire to reconcile women with their femininity in all that is most natural. Through her creations, she intends to celebrate the modern woman, the one who no longer wants to be constrained by outfits that are difficult to wear on a daily basis and hidden under too many artifices.
It is in this spirit that ICONE was born. Shaped in a stylistic purity leaving the personality all the freedom to express itself, ICONE creations are intended to respect women, their skin but also their freedom. And the black bodysuit thus meets all these criteria.
Since a confident approach cannot go without absolute comfort, the ICONE creation team makes a point of honor to shape its black bodysuits in premium fabrics respecting criteria of texture, thickness, quality and durability. As a timeless and essential piece of the feminine wardrobe, your black bodysuit must be able to be used season after season.
In addition, the Parisian house is also committed to respecting our planet by favoring French and European artisans and manufacturing workshops.
You will therefore find black ICONE bodysuits in subtly velvety Italian tulle for a silky effect that is pleasant to wear.
Always in an ecological and sustainable approach, the brand offers black bodysuits in Italian vegetable silk, tencel, particularly appreciated for its breathable, ultra-resistant properties as well as its softness.
Finally, how can you miss our black bodysuits in comfortable ribbed knit with a second-skin effect?
These carefully selected materials will make you feel like you're wearing nothing... And after all, isn't that what freedom is?
All our black bodysuits are designed with a 100% GOTS certified cotton base, i.e. without chemical additives such as dyes and additives.
Having the feeling of wearing nothing, taking care of your body but also your planet: these are the promises (kept!) of our black bodysuits for women.
Many advantages for all silhouettes
Let's face it, and despite what some preconceived ideas say, the black bodysuit is undoubtedly a woman's best ally, and for many reasons.
Starting with the fact that it can be worn in many ways and combined with a very large number of clothes. Whether you wear it under low-waisted pants or a high-waisted skirt, alone or with a shirt or blazer: it will find its place and bring the contemporary and feminine touch that was missing from your look.
With its fitted cut, the black ICONE bodysuit flatters all figures. Well-fitted to your figure, it gracefully defines your curves, making it an instant charm asset.
Ideally, you should choose bodysuits made from a stretchy material that fits perfectly to the body's shape. This is where all the research into materials that we mentioned above comes into play.
Since exclusion is not part of ICONE's policy, the brand's products have been designed to suit all women. Indeed, the Parisian house celebrates women, in all their diversity and in all their beauty.
As you will have understood, deciding to wear a black bodysuit is always a good idea!

The black ICONE bodysuit from every angle
Many of us have been or are looking for the perfect black bodysuit .
Like most wardrobe basics, finding the perfect bodysuit for us is often like a real quest for the Holy Grail. This is why ICONE is committed to offering the women's black bodysuit in different materials, in various cuts that are more or less low-cut, in order to adapt it to all women, but also to all occasions.
If the black lace bodysuit is a real must-have in the women's wardrobe, the black bodysuit as such should not be limited to underwear only. On the contrary, the trend is to wear it as a visible element of your outfit. In addition to being very practical, it is also aesthetic!
As feminine and comfortable as it is elegant, the black ICONE bodysuit is presented to you in lingerie and/or ready-to-wear, conceptual or sportswear versions with borrowings from the contemporary wardrobe so dear to the design house.
Each collection has its own sleek women's bodysuits : perfectly cut pieces that are suitable for all occasions and that will immediately tick the "basic that I can't live without" box.
"Perfection is in the details" they used to say... And ICONE pieces can only testify to this. As a fan of noble materials, ICONE has imagined a black bodysuit in semi-opaque tulle decorated with floral and solar embroidery. The plunging neckline continues with a series of pearl buttons that tastefully contrast with the deep black of the model. With this piece and so many others, ICONE illustrates the art of not showing too much. The timeless black women's bodysuit can be worn as a refined underwear as well as under pants or a skirt and topped with a blazer for a terribly elegant note.
ICONE designers play with styles and preconceived ideas by offering surprising but always relevant combinations. Like the semi-opaque tulle bodysuit with a removable bolero for a look punctuated with a mysterious charm.
The inspiration of the ICONE teams knows no limits or temporality. The collections are numerous and reveal their share of new women's black bodysuits very regularly.
The black lace bodysuit: a timeless classic
What is more refined, more timeless, more seductive, more feminine… than a black lace bodysuit ?
Designed for women looking for both comfort and absolute femininity, the I CONE black lace bodysuit is a perfect blend of beauty and freedom of movement.

ICONE continues to surprise us again and again by combining on some of its black bodysuits : Italian tulle, French lace and refined embroidery and the result is striking! The brand continues to celebrate French know-how by collaborating with renowned French and Italian lacemakers. For the embroidery, the house turned to the Broderies Leveaux workshops for their historic know-how. The finesse of these refined details combined with a high collar and long sleeves offer us a conceptual, contemporary and infinitely soft and comfortable black lace bodysuit . A favorite piece to wear as underwear or to integrate into an irresistible feminine-contemporary look.
Like other black bodysuits, the black lace bodysuit is a versatile piece. Whether worn under clothing for a touch of understated sophistication or in private for a romantic evening, it alone embodies feminine charm and self-confidence.
If we had to define the black lace bodysuit , we would say that it is the very emblem of today's femininity. A liberated femininity, a femininity that dares. A femininity that wants to be comfortable, confident and guided only by its well-being. At once romantic and daring, sensitive and strong, women want to be confident and sure of themselves in society as well as in private. They free themselves from the dictates, the narrow rules decreed by certain "do-gooders".
The black bodysuit, and even more so the black lace bodysuit , is the best outfit to illustrate all the facets of your personality.
