Après-ski couture
From the slopes to the city, elegance dresses in feather, wool and technical fabric
This winter fashion climbs in altitude: sweaters with a Nordic flavour, couture puffers, technical fabrics that defy the cold. The chicest trend of the season looks upwards: Moncler and Herno rewrite the code of the puffer — no longer sporty, but couture: lightweight fillings, sculpted silhouettes and glossy finishes designed for the city. Both return to knitwear too, with jacquard patterns and thick weaves that seem borrowed from an alpine lodge. Brunello Cucinelli and Lisa Yang take the path of soft luxury: turtlenecks, warm cashmere, and neutral tones to wear under oversized or shearling coats. Alanui and Weekend Max Mara sign enveloping cardigans and jacquard workmanship with a boho spirit, while Gucci adds a decorative touch with embroidery and precious details. On the technical side, Prada dominates with its Re-Nylon and shearling outerwear, both functional and sculptural. And at your feet? You walk in comfort: from the shearling ankle boots by Prada and Hogan to Moncler’s après-ski couture, all the way to the padded loafers by Miu Miu and the fur ballerinas by Gucci. The result is a warm, tactile elegance that blends functionality with desire.
