Inspirations for the Autumn/Winter 2026/2027 collection
For Autumn-Winter 2026/2027, Bourrienne Paris X opens the doors to an artist's studio. A silent place, inhabited by northern light, unfinished canvases, raw materials, and the free hand of the painter.
Titled “Winter Workshops”, this new collection draws its inspiration from the world of Nicolas de Staël, a major figure in 20th-century French painting and a muse for the House since its creation. His demeanor, his nonchalance, and his instinctive relationship with landscapes resonate with Bourrienne’s style: a free elegance, where every detail finds its place without ever seeming constrained.
This season, Cécile Faucheur thus imagines a wardrobe inspired by the atmosphere of a winter studio. A steaming cup of coffee, the cold outside the windows, a canvas on an easel, the pale blue of the sea and the grays of the sky. A collection designed around material, volume, and freedom of gesture.
Nicolas de Staël, a loyal muse for Bourrienne
Nicolas de Staël holds a special place in the world of Bourrienne Paris X. Since the House's beginnings, his allure and spirit have nourished the imagination of its collections.
For this season, Cécile Faucheur returns particularly to his Northern landscapes and their unique light. She imagines Staël in his studio in the heart of winter: focused on his work, a cup of coffee by his side, completely absorbed in the act of creation.
“Nicolas de Staël has always been a muse for me, through his art as well as through the complexity of his character, but especially for his allure and his nonchalance.”
This vision forms the starting point for Winter Workshops. More than a reference to the painter's work, the collection seeks to capture something of his attitude: a way of dressing with freedom, of letting the garment accompany movement rather than constrain it.
The shirt thus becomes the natural garment for this imaginary studio. A piece to slip on in the morning, generous and comfortable, refined enough for daily wear, but never too formal.
The Autumn-Winter 2026/2027 collection
From canvas to shirt: a palette inspired by painting
Like a painting built in layers, the collection is built with materials.
A work by Nicolas de Staël depicting a northern seascape becomes the starting point for the palette. The grays of the clouds, the pale blues of the sea, and the cream tones of the sand find their translation in the collection's fabrics.
Linen and wool, like a blank canvas
For the first time, Bourrienne explores a blend of 70% linen and 30% wool. Developed around the idea of raw canvas before the first brushstroke, this material retains the textured character and natural drape of linen while gaining warmth from the wool.
In a warm ecru hue, it immediately evokes the surface of an artist's canvas. A winter material that is both natural, textured, and enveloping, particularly present in the generous silhouettes of the collection.
Gray flannel, depth and softness
Gray appears as another essential color in the collection. Soft and light Italian cotton flannel brings depth and comfort to the winter wardrobe. Its discreet warmth makes it an ideal material for winter shirts, while preserving the lightness characteristic of Bourrienne’s attire.
Denim, between artist's wardrobe and workwear
Denim completes this palette with a material of slightly irregular texture, designed at the intersection of workwear and a more refined elegance.
Its blend of cotton, linen, and viscose gives it a particular suppleness and a more contemporary expression, while retaining the authentic spirit of denim.
Striped cotton, between blue and gray
A new stripe developed exclusively for Bourrienne punctuates the collection. Woven in Italy from double-twisted cotton, it combines the blues and grays of the season's palette with a subtle satin surface that delicately catches the light.
The result is precise but never strict: a stripe that adds dimension to the shirt while maintaining its fluidity.
The painter's studio as a new wardrobe
In Winter Workshops, workwear becomes a source of inspiration in its own right.
The painter's shirt, the work jacket, details borrowed from historical garments or military and maritime attire are reinterpreted with Bourrienne's characteristic precision.
For men, silhouettes are generous and follow movement. For women, volumes transform: sleeves take on a new architecture, collars, cuffs, and plackets become almost sculptural elements.
In both wardrobes, the same idea remains: to allow enough space for the garment to accompany the body and movement.
Signature pieces of the collection
PEINTRE, the shirt at the heart of the collection
PEINTRE is the emblematic piece of Winter Workshops.
Its oversized volume is inspired by traditional artist's shirts. A narrow bib, a mandarin collar, slim cuffs, and generous pleats at the shoulders and back create a loose, free, and naturally nonchalant silhouette.
Its name alone summarizes the collection's intention: to imagine the shirt Nicolas de Staël might have worn in his studio.
A triangular detail placed on the shoulder refers to the old gussets of historical shirts. Here, this functional element becomes an ornamental, almost imperceptible detail, while the hand-worked pleats give the garment its volume and movement.
Made this season in the linen and wool blend, PEINTRE seems to have been designed to accompany a winter morning: a loose, soft, slightly wrinkled shirt, whose irregularities fully contribute to its allure.
DOCK, between artist and sailor
With DOCK, Bourrienne brings together the world of the artist and that of the sailor.
The shirt is notably inspired by a portrait of Amedeo Modigliani and the image of a scarf tied around the neck. The detail is directly integrated into the collar, which can be tied or simply left loose.
Its wide cuffs, meanwhile, evoke naval workwear, echoing the northern seascapes that inspired Nicolas de Staël.
Made from the linen and wool blend, the material benefits from a particular wet spinning technique and a double dye, followed by a stonewashed treatment that gives it its patina and softness.
PINCEAU, the stripe as a gesture
The PINCEAU shirt translates Nicolas de Staël's palette into an exclusive stripe developed in Italy for Bourrienne.
Its Bourrienne volume, pleats in the back, and elongated length give it a unique presence. The cuffs, inspired by historical ties, close with two ties to knot: a discreet detail that transforms the look and introduces the nonchalance so dear to the House.
CHEVALET, the spirit of the studio
The name CHEVALET directly refers to the painter's studio.
This lightweight shirt-jacket uses Bourrienne's signature linen, whose surface evokes that of an artist's canvas. Its high mandarin collar, straight bib, and two patch pockets give it a functional look, while its construction remains deliberately streamlined.
For both men and women, two mandarin-collar jackets thus extend the studio spirit and revisit the work jacket with Bourrienne's characteristic sobriety.
The Autumn-Winter 2026 Men's collection
The Bourrienne woman: new volumes
For the women's wardrobe, Winter Workshops opens up a new exploration of volume.
The shirt is no longer just defined by its collar or bib: its construction itself becomes an element of silhouette. Sleeves are amplified, lines become geometric, and historical details are reinterpreted in new proportions.
AQUARELLE, an almost graphic silhouette
With AQUARELLE, Bourrienne explores a more contemporary approach to the shirt.
Its geometric construction and clean lines create an almost architectural silhouette. The collar, collar stand, and cuffs are worked with the same logic of purity, while the oversized volume maintains the characteristic ease of the House.
Made from Bourrienne's signature double-twisted Italian cotton poplin, AQUARELLE thus plays on the contrast between a precise and structured material and a generous silhouette.
SCÉNOGRAPHE, the elegance of gesture
With SCÉNOGRAPHE, the volume remains generous but becomes softer.
Its high collar closes with Bourrienne's emblematic golden flower button, a motif inspired by the historical interiors of the Hôtel de Bourrienne, particularly those associated with Fortunée Hamelin. Wide pleats then punctuate the sleeves and give movement to the silhouette.
PIGMENT, between uniform and couture
The PIGMENT shirt-jacket, meanwhile, is inspired by the storm collar, a buttoned collar historically designed to protect against wind and rain.
Bourrienne reinterprets it in a more sophisticated construction, halfway between an officer's uniform and couture. Its structured collar, buttoned tab cuffs, and patch pockets reinforce its character, while the signature "plastered" effect linen once again recalls the surface of a canvas.
The Autumn-Winter 2026/2027 Women's collection
Detail as language
At Bourrienne, detail is never merely decorative.
It tells a story, refers to an old garment, accompanies movement, or subtly transforms a silhouette.
This season, pleats, bibs, cuff ties, mandarin collars, patch pockets, and construction details all become ways to translate the spirit of the studio.
Even the most classic pieces are reinterpreted with this attention. GALERIE, for example, takes the codes of the classic shirt — French collar and musketeer cuffs — and highlights them with a tone-on-tone piping applied to the collar, cuffs, and button placket.
Elsewhere, a stripe appears inside a cuff, a flower button signs a collar, an old shirt construction becomes a contemporary detail.
The collection thus favors the precision of detail over profusion, each element being designed to find its place in the silhouette.
A collection where clothing becomes presence
Winter Workshops does not seek to reproduce the universe of Nicolas de Staël. Rather, it captures an attitude: that of a man entirely absorbed in his gesture, free in his way of creating as in his way of dressing.
The white shirt, Bourrienne's historical starting point, here regains its role as a blank canvas. Around it appear grays, blues, ecru, and winter materials; silhouettes become more generous, constructions more sculptural, and details more expressive.
From linen and wool evoking raw canvas to gray flannel inspired by clouds, from blue and gray stripes to revisited work jackets, each element contributes to the same vision.
A vision where clothing accompanies gesture, where material becomes language, and where elegance is born from freedom.
