The absolute symbol of contemporary femininity, the liberated, dynamic and uninhibited one so celebrated by ICONE, the slit skirt is once again the star of the season. While the classic long skirt is often shunned for the comfort or practicality of trousers, the long slit skirt does not have the same constraints. Indeed, while it proves to be a considerable fashion asset, the slit was originally integrated into the pencil skirt to allow women to walk more easily. It is to Christian Dior that we owe the entry of the slit skirt into the fashion world. He integrated it into his "H line" collection in 1954 in reference to the silhouettes he created with parallel lines. Since then, the slit has only gained in popularity. While helping women to move freely, it brings a touch of style in its own right coupled with a modest touch of bold femininity for a dynamic and confident look.
If, originally, the slit consisted of a vertical cut and on the back of the garment, today, it is also found on the sides of the skirt as well as on the front. This classic piece but constantly revisited in a contemporary way does not suffer at all from the effects of time passing. We recently found it on the catwalks of Prada, Chanel or Valentino with its famous long leather slit skirts. There is no designer who has not integrated the slit skirt into their collections. The creative team at ICONE is no exception to the rule by offering you elegant and timeless slit skirts ... Except that they are distinguished by their refined effortless look and their noble, durable and responsible fabrics, the brand's signature.

The slit skirt… From every angle
Long dethroned by the mini-skirt associated with the school uniform, women want to bring more length and depth to their style... And we understand them!
The format of the long or short slit skirt carries in its DNA the very essence of contemporary elegance.
Sometimes asymmetrical, other times mermaid or rather pleated, slit skirts are reinvented by the ICONE team according to the seasons, trends and your desires.
At ICONE , the slit skirt adopts more minimalist and timeless lines. These same lines which, like all of the brand's ready-to-wear collections , have the vocation of celebrating the very essence of femininity in what it has most anchored, most natural, most essential.
Our models of long slit skirts often have a straight and fluid shape, all the attention having been paid to the details. The slit extends to the middle of the thigh and has a flared and asymmetrical shape for the contemporary touch dear to our Parisian house. We also find a singular teardrop opening to tie at the hip for the note of originality tinged with audacity signature of ICONE.
As we mentioned earlier, long slit skirts can be punctuated with a slit on the front, back or side. The first option, increasingly sought after by fashion houses, stands out for its contemporary and particularly daring look given its position.
Side slits remain the most "popular" ones. Moving away from the classic pencil skirt, they bring just the right amount of free and bold femininity to your silhouette.
The slit turns out to be infinitely declinable. If for ICONE, this finish is sufficient in itself and does not require artifice, others prefer it embellished with knots or even buttons.
You can see for yourself that the slit skirt is a real source of inspiration for designers.
For Marion Toccacieli, founder of the ICONE brand, icons are women who assert themselves. In this, she intends to offer refined creations that praise a natural femininity. If your quest is for an effortless look, an indolent, confident and never constrained gait: the ICONE slit skirt is the model you need.
The use of noble materials for durable and timeless slit skirts
For the ICONE creative team, a cut is nothing without a premium fabric. It is indeed this that will give life to the garment.
To be selected by ICONE, a material must meet several conditions of quality, durability, thickness and texture. It must also respect environmental criteria, but we will discuss this later.
ICONE women know it and it is surely one of the reasons why they are fans of the brand: femininity cannot go without comfort. Indeed, how can you have a proud and refined gait without being perfectly comfortable in your clothes?
ICONE celebrates well-being and ease. Its pieces punctuate women's daily lives with an infinitely soft and comforting note. The silky texture of the materials used thus proves to be an essential criterion.
The ICONE slit skirt models are presented to you in an ultra-soft and fluid linen blend that delicately brushes the skin like a caress. ICONE designers are particularly adept at vaporous fabrics that do not constrain the silhouette, but on the contrary, that sublimate it, let it be and move.
Far from the excessive manufacturing and consumption methods that define our economic model today, ICONE imagines timeless and timeless pieces. By choosing an ICONE slit skirt designed in premium and easy-to-maintain materials, you are sure to enjoy a model that, season after season, will lose none of its shine.
The ICONE slit skirt: every woman's favorite eco-friendly piece
With their stylistic purity and timeless look, ICONE pieces are designed to be able to be combined with all the other pieces in your wardrobe. Another way to consume differently and lighten the hectic daily lives of 21st century women .
An essential model of the 21st century women's wardrobe
Among the many reasons that explain the success of the slit skirt , we note its versatility, its subtle audacity of course, but also its ability to enhance all silhouettes.
Very versatile first of all, the slit skirt is suitable for all occasions: at work, for a day of travel, in the evening or for a lazy afternoon, it is always a relevant choice. If ICONE loves this model so much, it is because the slit skirt is very easy to combine. The important thing is to have one that you can wear in a multitude of outfits.
Our desire? To offer you an infinite number of possibilities to create outfits that suit you and in which you feel like a woman, you feel like you are.
The slit skirt has the power to enhance all body types. The vertical slit lengthens the silhouette and will highlight the line of your legs. High-waisted slit skirts will highlight the curves of your hips while those with a low waist will give you a bohemian and relaxed look that is particularly in tune with the times.
To hell with "H", "A", "Y" or whatever letter body shape, the slit skirt is for all women and through this model, ICONE is sending you a message: to you, heroines of modern times, whoever you are: you are beautiful!
Sustainable and responsible parts
At the origin of ICONE, there is an awareness of its founder, that of the considerable environmental impact of the fashion industry.
And there is also a question that the Parisian brand never ceases to ask itself in order to always offer new eco-responsible alternatives for each range and collection line, whether it is ready-to-wear, swimwear or lingerie : How to offer sustainable and quality pieces while respecting the planet and its inhabitants?
How? From the development of its creations, through the design of prototypes, without forgetting the selection of artisans, collaborators, manufacturing experts and the search for organic and/or recycled materials but always sourced: at the heart of each stage of manufacturing our products, we engage in a responsible, ethical and ecological reflection and approach.
While more than 80% of the ICONE swimwear line is made from recycled fabrics, ready-to-wear pieces are no exception. With priority given to materials from France and Europe, we are constantly turning to the best ecological alternative: GOTS-certified cottons, cupro to replace silk, recycled materials increasingly used as new collections are released... We always go further and never rest on our laurels. Our goal in this area is to become as responsible as possible.
In addition, we build real relationships of trust with our employees who are selected based on the quality of their services, the respect they show for their teams and also their geolocation.
Finally, at the end of the production line, we make a point of using sustainable packaging: 100% biodegradable bio-sourced polybags.
We know that we are only at the beginning of this ecological reflection. A research and development team is entirely dedicated to the search for new, more responsible practices.
