The Back to Work collection, from 02.09 to 15.09 — Devernois, French family house since 1927.
There's something timeless about College style. That quiet back-to-school elegance that you want to wear every year, but which Devernois reinterprets in its own way: with character, French knitwear, and a palette of grey and black that asks no one's permission.
For the Fall 2026 season, the French family house founded in 1927 offers a wardrobe designed for women returning to work with as much style as they left summer. Between noble materials, contemporary cuts and a new signature detail, here's how to create a back-to-school wardrobe that is both timeless and decidedly modern.
College style, an office elegance that never goes out of fashion
The Devernois back-to-school wardrobe is built around a simple idea: classic codes, but never rigid. Wool wrap skirt, enveloping coat, white shirt — office essentials are revisited with an arty and modern touch, for a chic Parisian spirit.
It's a wardrobe for those who love codes and know how to shake them up. Back-to-school as we imagine it when we prepare it carefully: pieces that combine, layer, and reinvent themselves from one day to the next.
The essential materials for back-to-school
At Devernois, back-to-school starts with the material. Jacquards, made in France, structure jackets and cardigans. Luxurious cashmere brings softness and lightness to everyday knitwear. Boiled wool provides structure without ever restricting movement.

Tweed, long associated with a rigid image, is here available in contemporary cuts for a chic Parisian spirit. And to sign the season, the chevron stripe and geometric print with a seventies inspiration bring that detail that makes all the difference: an arty and modern touch that transforms a simple office outfit into a true statement.
- Jacquard Made in France, on structured jackets and cardigans
- Cashmere Luxurious, in sweaters, cardigans, or stoles
- Boiled wool Structures without constricting, on coats and skirts
- Tweed Reinvented in contemporary cuts, Parisian spirit
New in: fringe, the detail that changes everything

This is the new feature for back-to-school: fringe. This detail transforms an office outfit into a true statement. It adorns the wool wrap skirt, borders the seasonal jacket, and adds movement to the silhouette. An arty and modern gesture, in the Parisian style, for women who break the rules.
On a grey coat or a wrap skirt, fringe adds that extra touch of allure that doesn't go unnoticed — without ever sacrificing the understated elegance that is Devernois's signature.
The geometric print, the seventies touch that signs the season
With a seventies inspiration, the geometric print brings that arty detail that transforms everything. Placed on a soft knit, slipped under a grey coat: it's a graphic motif that awakens the back-to-school palette without ever weighing it down. The modern touch that, on its own, creates the statement of a silhouette.
One motif, a thousand ways to wear it: it's the graphic detail that defines the back-to-school silhouette.
