Odette Álvarez: Iris Fall 2026

True to her signature style, Odette Álvarez incorporates her classic touches of sparkle with gemstones, sequins, and rich embellishments while also introducing handcrafted leather painting techniques with the iris flower as the central motif. The palette features warm and enveloping tones such as iris blue, mustard, burgundy, brown, black, and green.

Odette’s first look was a playful short dress in pale purple with grand floral flourishes at the neck and hip. The dress is meticulously tailored but also provides a burst of joy with the florals, elevating a short sexy dress into a true statement piece. The design of this dress was inspired by the idea of celebrating femininity and strength, with the floral flourishes symbolizing the resilience and beauty of the iris flower.

Another outstanding design incorporates a gorgeous multicolored fur coat over golden yellow blows and a buttercup-tinted long skirt with a daring slit up the front and reaching the knee.  The coat is a standout piece and uses most of a color palette in a pleasing, harmonious way. The blouse had a lovely flourish at the front, which mimicked a flower. This ensemble shows Odette’s inspiration through her elegant, feminine, but strong aesthetic.

The collection speaks to the inherent strength of materials and the subtlety of color and texture, creating a synergy between the natural and the modern, the warm and the protective.
