K-Way unveils its Fall Winter 2026.27 ski collection in Milan, reaffirming a long-standing relationship with the mountains shaped through experience, technical development, and adaptation to extreme conditions. Originally conceived as a solution for rain protection, the brand expanded its scope during the 1970s by entering alpine skiing, where it began developing high-performance garments designed for demanding environments. This trajectory led to a significant presence on the international sports stage, including the outfitting of the French National Team at the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics.
For K-Way, the mountains extend beyond performance-driven contexts. They inform a broader lifestyle shaped by movement, seasonal rhythm, and shared experiences tied to winter environments. This perspective frames the Fall Winter 2026.27 ski collection, presented during Milan Men’s Fashion Week at BasicVillage in Milan. The setting reinforces the idea of winter as a space where technical function and social experience coexist, reflecting the atmosphere of après-ski culture and collective presence.
The collection builds on K-Way’s established L’Action line, the brand’s most technical range developed for skiing and snow-based activities. Over years of presence on slopes and in alpine settings, this line has served as the foundation for continuous research into performance apparel. Fall Winter 2026.27 extends this trajectory by expanding into snowboarding through an ongoing partnership with Scotty James, four-time world champion and Olympic snowboarder. Appointed as brand ambassador for the Fall Winter 2025.26 season, James collaborated with K-Way on a capsule collection that broadens the brand’s reach across snow disciplines and strengthens its connection to mountain culture.
Alongside this collaboration, the Fall Winter 2026.27 offering introduces a series of garments designed to balance technical performance with adaptability and contemporary design. A unisex padded cape insulated with PrimaLoft wadding stands out within the range. Lightweight and warm, the piece supports thermal protection while allowing freedom of movement. Functional elements such as ski-pass pockets reinforce its purpose within active environments while maintaining versatility beyond the slopes.
The collection continues with a men’s sporty zip-up top crafted from stretch technical fabric with a brushed interior. Designed to function as either a standalone layer or a mid layer beneath a ski shell, the garment features a high collar, hood, and zippered pockets that prioritize comfort and practical use.
For women, K-Way applies the same technical approach through a long-sleeved bodysuit equipped with a hood. The close-fitting silhouette includes a front half-zip and cuffs with thumbholes, offering a streamlined form designed for mobility and thermal regulation.
The collection concludes with a unisex three-color colorblock ski jacket made from two-layer ripstop fabric. Waterproof, windproof, and breathable, the jacket features lightweight, quick-drying PrimaLoft padding. Heat-taped seams, side vents, a removable snow skirt, and multiple functional pockets support performance in alpine conditions.
Through the FW 26/27 ski collection, K-Way presents a clear vision of winter apparel shaped by technical research, athletic collaboration, and a lifestyle informed by mountain environments.
