New Print Design Collection by LICA DESIGN STUDIO
At the upcoming MUNICH FABRIC START, LICA DESIGN STUDIO will present their material innovations for the Spring.Summer 26 season in the new Design Studios area on the first floor in S1 DS – E 02.
As we embrace Spring/Summer 2026, LICA’s new textile print collection reveals a compelling juxtaposition of themes that resonate with contemporary cultural narratives. This season invites a sense of escapism: just as LICA loves to hop into the charming Citroen Dyane in order to head to the French west coast to unwind, our trend vision takes us to the horses of the Wild West or lets us retreat into our own dream worlds. Everyone finds different strategies to escape reality, reflecting our longing for distraction and introspection in these uncertain times.
This season invites a sense of escapism: just as LICA loves to hop into the charming Citroen Dyane in order to head to the French west coast to unwind, our trend vision takes us to the horses of the Wild West or lets us retreat into our own dream worlds.
Floral prints play a key role this season: From artisanal, abstract florals in a woodblock aesthetic that radiate simplicity (Nature Lines) to exotic patterns that transport us to lush landscapes (Good Trip), these prints express a yearning for good energy and joyful expression. In the Hothouse Florals trend you will definitely encounter vibrant, large-scale orchids or lilies, which may have both a painterly and a digital appearance. In the Soulful Garden, fresh millefleurs grow alongside arty pop flowers. The revival of vibrant 80s colors in fruity patterns adds a playful touch (Jellied).
Dark and intricate paisleys build on the floral trend while maintaining a dim and classy vibe. This Nu Boheme sparks the notion of recreation. Ultimately, it is Retro Riviera that unleashes a full-on vacation mood: glamorous Conversationals are linked to beach themes, and refined minimals come in fresh as well as sandy colors.
The prominent trends Grey Cowboy and Two Color Country suggest a bold country style that encompasses floral and decorative patterns, western motifs, two-tone paisleys, and ambitious Conversationals. The Wild Wild West fills this world with color.
In contrast to the energetic and bold trends, Enchanted reminds us of our resilience and the importance of calming retreats. Soothing watercolors blur the boundaries between dream world and daily life, allowing space for spiritual or cosmic ideas.
