The perfect balance: when technology meets Cotélac elegance
At Cotélac, each collection embodies a relentless quest for balance, where material, form, and emotion intertwine to create pieces of rare depth. This fundamental philosophy positions the brand well beyond the simple creation of clothing; it shapes an experience, a tangible artistic expression. The Fall/Winter 2025 collection is fully in line with this approach, marking a significant step with the introduction of creations made from Komatsu fabric.
The integration of Komatsu fabric represents a remarkable synergy: Japanese textile innovation with exceptional craftsmanship meets Cotélac's aesthetic vision. This alliance promises a unique blend of technical sophistication and a luxurious feel. Choosing Komatsu is a strategic decision that reflects Cotélac's ongoing design philosophy, focused on finding a balance between materials, forms, and emotions.

Komatsu fabric at the heart of the Fall - Winter 2025 collection
The Komatsu fabric, at the heart of the Fall-Winter 2025 collection, boasts unique properties that make it an exceptional material. Its fluid drape allows for elegant movement and a sophisticated silhouette, essential to Cotélac's refined aesthetic. This characteristic gives the garments a graceful fluidity, as seen in the jacket featured in the images, where the fabric naturally hugs the shape while maintaining a visual lightness.
The strength of Komatsu fabric ensures its durability and resilience for everyday use, perfectly aligning with the notion of "sustainability" dear to Cotélac's design philosophy. This quality ensures that the pieces retain their impeccable appearance over time, resisting the wear and tear of everyday use.
The incomparable comfort of this material offers a pleasant sensation on the skin, highlighting ease of wear and freedom of movement, key attributes for the "dynamic" Cotélac woman. The fabric is designed to be lightweight, practical and comfortable to wear, meeting the demands of an active lifestyle.
To the touch, the fabric reveals a soft, slightly satiny hand , a luxurious tactile experience coupled with a subtle visual sheen that adds depth and richness to the garment. This discreet shine is noticeable on the lapels and body of the jacket, lending an understated elegance.
Finally, its remarkable hold allows the fabric to retain its shape, minimizing creasing and ensuring the garment remains impeccable throughout the day, contributing to the "simple" yet elegant appeal. The fabric's ability to maintain its structure while providing flexibility is a major asset.
Raphaëlle Cavalli's Avant-Garde Vision: Aesthetics at the Service of Performance
Raphaëlle Cavalli, co-founder and artistic director of Cotélac, embodies a profoundly avant-garde vision. Her "pioneer at heart" spirit is manifested through the constant integration of innovative materials into her "stylistic grammar." This approach positions her as a visionary figure in the world of fashion.
The integration of technical fabrics, and more specifically Komatsu, into the women's wardrobe is not a coincidence, but a deliberate and strategic choice. It reflects a fundamental desire to combine aesthetics with performance, a duality that is at the heart of modernity. This design philosophy is directly aligned with the needs and aspirations of the Cotélac woman.
The cuts of Cotélac's creations are "designed for everyday wear, movement, and durability." Komatsu fabric, with its comfort, durability, and elegant drape, perfectly supports this vision.
Cotélac invites you to discover the Fall-Winter 2025 collection and experience for yourself the unique feel and exceptional qualities of Komatsu fabric, in store or online .
