Style Stylish on the slopes

Tommy Hilfiger teams up with Rossignol for a capsule collection of menswear looks for the slopes, the city and apres-ski.

SPORTSWEAR has been having a moment in the fashion world for several months, with activewear influences peaking this Autumn/ Winter season.

Sneakers, zips, hoodies and technical fabrics have all appeared in the collections of ready-to-wear brands and luxury labels, and collaborations keep coming thick and fast between the worlds of fashion and sports apparel (Puma x The Kooples, Arthur Ashe W x Guerlain).

American brand Tommy Hilfiger takes things further this fall by joining forces with winter sports brand Rossignol.

The result is a capsule comprising four menswear looks combining technical fabrics (performance, water-resistance, quick-drying) with modern, stylish designs in the red, white and blue colour scheme shared by both brands.

“Skiing and winter sports have been a passion of mine since I was young,” said Tommy Hilfiger in a statement. “I've wanted to develop this capsule collection for a long time, and Rossignol was the ultimate partner to bring the concept to life in a really iconic way.”

The capsule comprises three padded ski jackets, two lighter jackets for the slopes or the city, five zip-through cardigans and two pairs of ski pants.

Its four looks match performance with modernity and will be available in selected Tommy Hilfiger and Rossignol stores worldwide, from certain partner retailers and online at tommy.com and rossignol.com. – AFP Relaxnews
