Nicole + Felicia Fall 2026 Bridal Debut Marries Sculptural Tailoring, Romantic Volume

The Fall/Winter 2026 bridal debut read like a small manifesto: Nicole + Felicia presented a precis of their decade-long craft on a New York runway that took place on October 13, 2025, marking the label’s first-ever show in the city and its 10th anniversary. WWD captured the mood succinctly: the gallery "offers a modernist reading of bridal tradition - sculptural tailoring meets romantic volume," a visual shorthand that held across the room from tailored trousers to full-skirted gowns.

On the runway the material vocabulary was deliberate. WWD’s images highlight "a mix of sleek satin and matte mikado pieces alongside layered tulle gowns; many looks are defined by" and that fragment registers in the room as intent rather than indecision. Fashion Trendsetter reported the construction priorities plainly: "Refined corsetry sits at the heart of the collection, paired with dramatic yet impeccably engineered structure that highlights the body’s natural shape." Photographers framed the contrast — Chia-Ta Tsai @ct_tsai documented the tailored silhouettes while Alpine Baek / VRAI Magazine supplied additional stills, and WWD credited images to "Courtesy of Nicole + Felicia."

The collection’s silhouettes translated into concrete pieces available through the brand’s channels. The Nicole+Felicia site catalogs Ready-to-Wear under the NICOLE BY NF header alongside FW26 Bridal Lookbook entries such as "FW26 Bridal Look 3," "FW26 Bridal Look 23," and "FW26 Bridal Look 31." Signature ready pieces named on the site include "Midi Pencil Skirt in White," "Midi Pencil Skirt in Black," "Tailored Trousers," and "Double Breasted Blazer," a practical bridge between bridal and everyday dressing that echoed the run’s minimal-yet-architectural editing.

Craftsmanship was not decorative copy but a through-line: Fashion Trendsetter framed the collection as an anniversary statement—"This 10-year anniversary collection celebrates the craftsmanship at the heart of Nicole + Felicia, honoring the artistry passed down through decades of family production heritage." The brand’s process language also appeared on the runway dossier: "Every stage of creation, from sketch to stitch, is executed with meticulous care to achieve flawless quality and our signature aesthetic." That emphasis on family-run production and engineered corsetry explained the disciplined balance of structure and "Signature floral elements with elegant, clean lines-a hallmark of Nicole + Felicia soften the architecture and bring a sense of organic movement."

Commercially the label is positioned for wide distribution. The site lists markets from Taiwan to the United States in full: Taiwan, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, China, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong SAR, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Macao SAR, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States. Interface copy such as "Our Latest Collection," "We invite you to explore each new chapter together," and "Subscribe to Your Newsletter" signals how the brand plans to move runway momentum into global retail.

The runway on October 13, 2025 read as both a celebration and a pivot: sculptural tailoring and refined corsetry anchor a collection that still allows tulle to breathe and mikado to hold its line. With WWD’s gallery surfacing in mid-February 2026 and editorial photographers on hand, Nicole + Felicia have translated ten years of family craft into a market-ready, architecturally romantic bridal language that will be watched where their listed markets begin to stock the new looks.
