Louis Vuitton ushers in ski season with an alpine collection

LOUIS Vuitton is no stranger to alpine attire. Welcoming a new ski collection, the Maison has expanded into menswear and womenswear for the latest offering.

Delivering perfect outfits for athletes who regularly partake in the sport, and those of us who prefer to take a more casual après ski approach, the new pieces have everyone covered.

Defined by its functionality and indubitable versatility, the collection spans ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes and accessories. From cosy, winter jackets to snowboards, crossbody bags and more, the garments are bound to make you the best-dressed individual on the slopes.

In terms of womenswear, down-filled jackets and relaxed puffers are great for adding volume and creating a silhouette. Additionally, figure-hugging thermal layers ensure that one will remain comfortable but also warm while exploring the mountainous terrain.

Despite being created with harsh weather in mind, the pieces are easily adaptable and can be worn for going out and more casual scenarios alike. The LV Flocon logo appears throughout the collection and is known to exhibit the Monogram flower and the delicate shape of a snowflake.

Meanwhile, ski accessories remain a focal point in the collection. Ski masks are presented with gradient solar lenses in order to ensure the highest quality of protection against strong UV rays. For those who prefer to take in the snowy landscapes at a more leisurely pace, lighter sunglasses with Monogram lenses are perfect for everyday use.

Furthermore, shearling plays a pivotal role in the new seasonal offering. Adorning backpacks, the handles of the Capucines and Chelsea boots, it’s clear that the collection will provide us all with much-needed insulation. For menswear, the pieces are rugged yet refined.

Placing an emphasis on technicality and practicality, a ski parka in black breakage topstitching with matching trousers in calfskin leather makes an appearance.

Similarly, various outerwear pieces are decorated with subtle ski-related motifs. Jackets and gilets are printed with slope-like patterns, whereas mohair cardigans are fitted with a sky and mountain motif.

The skis are available in three different sizes and are handmade in the French Alps. It goes without saying that the collection is perfect for those who are well-acquainted with the best slopes in the world.
