Over the years, the world of fashion has seen the birth of iconic pieces that have become true essentials of the female wardrobe. The bodycon dress is undoubtedly one of them. This sublime piece hugs the shapes and reveals the contours of the body, becoming the very embodiment of bold elegance and a certain assertive femininity.
Adopted by many celebrities recognized for their flawless style, the tight dress can be short or long depending on your desires and body types. A true ally of the female body, the long ICONE tight dress sculpts the silhouette. Inspiring and fascinating, the short tight dress is constantly being renewed while remaining the height of refinement.
As you may know, at ICONE we celebrate women in all their forms and have as a guideline to create emancipatory pieces. Imagining a tight dress was obvious to us because it corresponds, both by its shape and by the strength of the messages it conveys, to the image we have of the woman of the 21st century. A strong, uninhibited and refined woman. The tight dress is also for us the opportunity to present a refined fashion but also and above all a fashion marked by softness, supple lines and comfort.
The thousand and one variations of the tight dress
If there is one model that has defied all seasons, fashions and trends, it is the bodycon dress . How can we not remember the incredible flesh-colored bodycon dress worn by the sultry and less sublime Marylin Monroe, on May 19, 1962 at Madison Square Garden in New York for John F. Kennedy's birthday? On May 2, 2022, Kim Kardashian took care of her arrival at the Met Gala by wearing this same dress... Proof that the long, bodycon dress does not suffer from the effects of time. Who passes At ICONE, we have also taken hold of the bodycon dress to reinvent it according to our codes and your desires.
The bodycon dress redefined according to the house codes
While it goes without saying that the bodycon dress hasn't aged a day, we are committed to creating pieces in response to your desires. And if there is one thing we have learned from your expectations, it is that contemporary women no longer want to make dichotomies between day and evening dresses, both in terms of practicality and comfort.
In a few words, let us summarize the expectations of today's woman. You want to enjoy the same comfort in day and night wear and no longer see yourself constrained by outfits that are too oppressive, heavy or imposed by social dictates. The tight dress , yes, but only if you can pair it with tennis shoes as well as pumps! Finally, we know only too well, you will no longer compromise on your comfort... And how right we are!
How can we not understand this when we know that today, women play all the roles and live hectic days between their professional and personal lives!
Being an ICON woman, being an icon, is giving yourself the means to juggle all these lives without needing to transform yourself to play a role. So the tight dress , yes, but it must be comfortable, flattering and adapt to all situations.
A fan of stylistic purity, the Parisian house ICONE borrows the codes of the tank top with straps and round neckline to create a long dress in ribbed knit that it punctuates with two side slits for a sensual and assertive note. We find in the ICONE long tight dresses , the effortless chic style that gives the Amazons who wear them the freedom to embellish them with their character and the intention they want to put into them.
Basics have a bright future ahead of them and ICONE continues to prove it to us by taking up their clean lines which it enhances with noble and responsible materials and innovative finishes such as buttoned openings on the front of the shoulders, a perfect gathered finish, a slightly high neckline or even cutouts assembled with reverse overlock stitching.
Finally, and since it is the woman who is at the center of all our concerns, we have fun with transparency effects to enhance her and spice up her look with an infinitely daring note.
The ICONE bodycon dress… From every angle
At ICONE, fabric is king and its quality promises an unforgettable outfit.
Marion Toccacieli, founder and artistic creator of the Parisian house, does not limit herself to creating clothes. No, this enthusiast of fashion, contemporary culture, crafts and photography designs fashion pieces that have everything of a work of art. It is then, the selected fabric which, by its quality and its properties, will give life to the garment.
The challenge then lies in a judicious choice of material which must combine softness, quality, durability, nobility and comfort.
Passionate about materials, we make it a point of honor to celebrate French know-how by selecting exceptional fabrics such as Calais-Caudry lace and French embroidery. Our tight-fitting dresses are a testament to the know-how inherited from exceptional craftsmen. Italian tulles feature transparency effects that enhance our models with a sensual and infinitely feminine touch.
Noble and luxurious materials, yes, but only if they do not contravene our environmental commitments. We have chosen to make long, tight-fitting dresses and short, tight-fitting dresses with the ethical counterpart to silk: cupro. This little-known textile fiber derived from cotton is renowned for its softness, its velvety appearance that gently envelops the curves and its luxurious finish.
Finally, and since the comfort of our muses is paramount, you will also find tight-fitting dresses whose ribbed knit fits perfectly to the silhouette without ever oppressing it. Designed in organic cotton and just the right amount of elastane, this material perfectly hugs the curves of your body.
