Luxury house LOUIS VUITTON unveiled its SKI Capsule Collection, that fuses style, function, and performance, and puts an elevated spin on activewear with Monogram fleece, quilted jackets, puffy jackets, and sporty knits. The collection is defined by versatility, sophistication, and graphic impact. Pieces can be matched as total looks for the slopes, or mixed in many ways as an individual après-ski statement. Like a shield against extreme weather, a series of puffer jackets combine the heat of a genuine goose down padding, sourced from responsible farming, and the use of recycled nylon fabric, ECONYL®. Outerwear combines shearling and leather, and it works for both skiing and city life.
“A chic parka in Monogram double wool can be worn at least five different ways, as it features a reversible interior and a detachable inner puffer jacket. In light nylon satin, quilted Monogram pieces – including a reversible jacket, parka, and zip-front skirt – are sleek staples for staying warm. Salopettes, trousers and a funnel-necked jacket are among the dedicated ski wear grouping made from technical nylon and waterproof stretch gabardine traced with white piping and Monogram inserts. Closer to the body, silhouettes are close-fitting with details that accentuate form. Technical compression jersey pieces in sporty tonal grey, blue and red are streamlined and feminine, while ribbed knits in sumptuous cashmere boast athletic stripes that give off a throwback allure.
Unique to this capsule, the Monogram shifts into winter mode. The hybrid Snowflake motif has been reworked from the Fall Winter 2015 runway collection in crisp colours and signed with the LV Flocon logo, which also appears front and centre on comfortable separates in white cotton jersey. Just as impactful, the Magic Mountain landscape print is newly infused with crisp shades of blue and orange that splash across a puffer vest and jacket, hoodie, leggings, and bodysuit. And since ski wear can also inspire looks worn far from the slopes, bi-material pieces crafted from quilted nylon and luxurious cashmere bring this sensibility into an everyday context. Overall, emblematic Louis Vuitton details find fresh expression in garments that correspond to intense sport and lounging around.” – from Louis Vuitton
