2023/2024

The collection is inspired by the world of backpacking and high-altitude sports, but breaks away from classic performance wear to create a Performance Wear Couture.

The materials and manufacturing methods typical of technical clothing are combined with decorative elements that are engineered. 

Building on the imagery of the 1990s and 2000s, the key items in the collection are the round puffers, which insulate and protect when worn, but which can be transformed into comfortable rucksacks, thanks to their three-dimensional modelling construction; shell trousers and jackets with waterproof and windproof protection systems designed by observing natural formations and dynamics; hoodies reinterpreted from both a technical and a visual research perspective; technical trousers and thermal tops, with cuts designed to comfortably fit the contours of the body. The selection of materials includes a wide range of circular knit fabrics, technical fabrics with finishes and resins to enhance performance, and a range of membrane fabrics.
